Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEDE FGFG HCHC IJIJ DGDG KLK| Old man upon the green hillside | A |
| With yellow flowers besprinkled o'er | B |
| How long in silence wilt thou bide | A |
| At this low stone door | C |
| - | |
| I stoop within 'tis dark and still | D |
| But shadowy paths methinks there be | E |
| And lead they far into the hill | D |
| Traveller come and see | E |
| - | |
| 'Tis dark 'tis cold and hung with gloom | F |
| I care not now within to stay | G |
| For thee and me is scarcely room | F |
| I will hence away | G |
| - | |
| Not so not so thou youthful guest | H |
| Thy foot shall issue forth no more | C |
| Behold the chamber of thy rest | H |
| And the closing door | C |
| - | |
| O have I 'scaped the whistling ball | I |
| And striven on smoky fields of fight | J |
| And scaled the 'leaguered city's wall | I |
| In the dangerous night | J |
| - | |
| And borne my life unharm d still | D |
| Through foaming gulfs of yeasty spray | G |
| To yield it on a grassy hill | D |
| At the noon of day | G |
| - | |
| Peace Say thy prayers and go to sleep | K |
| Till some time ONE my seal shall break | L |
| And deep shall answer unto deep | K |
| When He crieth 'AWAKE ' | - |
