Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJFFKLMN| There is a house now far away where once | A |
| I received love That woman died | B |
| The house withdrew into silence snakes moved | C |
| Among books I was then too young | D |
| To read and my blood turned cold like the moon | E |
| How often I think of going | F |
| There to peer through blind eyes of windows or | G |
| Just listen to the frozen air | H |
| Or in wild despair pick an armful of | I |
| Darkness to bring it here to lie | J |
| Behind my bedroom door like a brooding | F |
| Dog you cannot believe darling | F |
| Can you that I lived in such a house and | K |
| Was proud and loved I who have lost | L |
| My way and beg now at strangers' doors to | M |
| Receive love at least in small change | N |
