Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDE FGFGHH IJEJKK LMNMEE ONJNPQ| Within the greenhouse dim and damp | A |
| The heat floats like a cloud | B |
| Pale rose leaves droop from the rust roof | C |
| With rust edged roses bowed | B |
| As I go in | D |
| Out flies the startled wren | E |
| - | |
| By the tall dark fir tree he sings | F |
| Morn after morn still | G |
| Shy and bold he flits and sings | F |
| Tinily sweet and shrill | G |
| As I go out | H |
| His song follows me about | H |
| - | |
| About the orchard under trees | I |
| Beaded with cherries bright | J |
| Past the rat haunted Honeybourne | E |
| And up those hills of light | J |
| As up I go | K |
| His notes more sweetly flow | K |
| - | |
| Or down those dark hills when night's there | L |
| Full of dark thoughts and deep | M |
| A thin clear soundless music comes | N |
| Like stars in broken sleep | M |
| When I come down | E |
| All those dark thoughts are flown | E |

| And now that sweetness is more sweet | O |
| Here where the aeroplanes | N |
| Labouring and groaning in the height | J |
| Lift their lifeless vans | N |
| Sweet sweet to hear | P |
| The far off wren singing clear | Q |
