Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DDDEEFGHH BIJJBKBKIBLBMBLDDBN OPOPFOOOOFLLGGDDOOO| It was a day | A |
| All blue and lifting white | B |
| When I went into the fields with Frank | C |
| To fly his kite | B |
| - | |
| The fields were aged bare | D |
| Shut between houses everywhere | D |
| All the way there | D |
| The wind tugged at the kite to take it | E |
| Untethered toss and break it | E |
| But Frank held fast and I | F |
| Walked with him admiringly | G |
| In his light brave and fine | H |
| How bright was mine | H |
| - | |
| We tailed the kite | B |
| While the wind flapped its purple face | I |
| And yellow head | J |
| Frank's yellow head | J |
| Was scarcely higher and not so bright | B |
| Let go he cried and I let go | K |
| And watched the kite | B |
| Swaying and rising so | K |
| That I was rooted to the place | I |
| Watching the kite | B |
| Rise into the blue | L |
| Lifting its head against the white | B |
| Against the sun | M |
| Against the height | B |
| That far off farther drew | L |
| Shivering there | D |
| In that fine air | D |
| As we below shivered with delight | B |
| And fear | N |
| - | |
| There it floated | O |
| Among the birds and clouds at ease | P |
| Of others all unnoted | O |
| Swimming above the ranked stiff trees | P |
| And I lay down looking up at the sky | F |
| The clouds and birds that floated | O |
| By others still unnoted | O |
| And that swaying kite | O |
| Specking the light | O |
| Looking up at the sky | F |
| The birds and clouds that drew | L |
| Nearer leaving the blue | L |
| Stooping and then brushing me | G |
| With such tenderness touching me | G |
| That I had still lain there | D |
| In those fields bare | D |
| Forgetting the kite | O |
| For every cloud was now a kite | O |
| Streaming with light | O |
