Rhyme Scheme: AAA BCC DDD EEE FFF| From pacing pacing without hope or quest | A |
| He leaned against his window bars to rest | A |
| And smelt the breeze that crept up from the west | A |
| - | |
| It came with sundown noises from the moors | B |
| Of milking time and loud voiced rural chores | C |
| Of lumbering wagons and of closing doors | C |
| - | |
| He caught a whiff of furrowed upland sweet | D |
| And certain scents stole up across the street | D |
| That told him fireflies winked among the wheat | D |
| - | |
| Over the dusk hill woke a new moon's light | E |
| Shadowed the woods and made the waters white | E |
| And watched above the quiet tents of night | E |
| - | |
| Alas that the old Mother should not know | F |
| How ached his heart to be entreated so | F |
| Who heard her calling and who could not go | F |
