Rhyme Scheme: AABBCC DEFFGG HIJJAA FFKKLL AAMMNN| Against the cold pale sky | A |
| The elm tree company rose high | A |
| All the fine hues of day | B |
| That flowered so bold had died away | B |
| Only chill blue faint green | C |
| And deepening dark blue were seen | C |
| - | |
| There swinging on a bough | D |
| That hung or floated broad and low | E |
| The lamp of evening bright | F |
| With more than planetary light | F |
| Was beautiful and free | G |
| A white bird swaying on the tree | G |
| - | |
| You watched and I watched | H |
| Our eyes and hearts so surely matched | I |
| We saw the white bird leap leap | J |
| Shining in his journey steep | J |
| Through that vast cold sky | A |
| Our hearts knew his unuttered cry | A |
| - | |
| A cry of free delight | F |
| Spreading over the clustering night | F |
| Pole Hill grave and stark | K |
| Stared at the valley's tidal dark | K |
| The Darent glimmered wan | L |
| But that eager planet winging on | L |
| - | |
| And singing on went high | A |
| Into the deeps and heights of sky | A |
| And our thoughts rising too | M |
| Brightened the mortal darkness through | M |
| Trembled and danced and sang | N |
| Till the mute invisible heavens rang | N |
