Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC EFG HGH| 'Neath their black yews in solemn state | A |
| The owls are sitting in a row | B |
| Like foreign gods and even so | B |
| Blink their red eyes they meditate | A |
| - | |
| Quite motionless they hold them thus | C |
| Until at last the day is done | D |
| And driving down the slanting sun | D |
| The sad night is victorious | C |

| They teach the wise who gives them ear | E |
| That in this world he most should fear | F |
| All things which loud or restless be | G |
| - | |
| Who dazzled by a passing shade | H |
| Follows it never will be free | G |
| Till the dread penalty be paid | H |
