Rhyme Scheme: ABBABA CDDCDC EFFFFF| I heard a voice upon the window beat | A |
| And then grow dim grow still | B |
| Opening I saw the snowy sill | B |
| Marked with the robin's feet | A |
| Chill was the air and chill | B |
| The thoughts that in my bosom beat | A |
| - | |
| I thought of all that wide and hopeless snow | C |
| Crusting the frozen lands | D |
| Of small birds that in famished bands | D |
| A chill and silent grow | C |
| And how Earth's myriad hands | D |
| Clutched only hills of frosted snow | C |
| - | |
| And then I thought of Love that beat and cried | E |
| Famishing at my breast | F |
| How I by chilling care distrest | F |
| Denied him and Love died | F |
| O with what sore unrest | F |
| Love's ghost woke with the bird that cried | F |
