Rhyme Scheme: ABCCBDDAEFGHFGIEIFCH B| THE poor earth was so winter marred | A |
| Harried by storm so long | B |
| It seemed no spring could mend her | C |
| No tardy sunshine render | C |
| Atonement for such wrong | B |
| Snow after snow and gale and hail | D |
| Gaunt trees encased in icy mail | D |
| The glittering drifts so hard | A |
| They took no trace | E |
| Of scared wild feet | F |
| No print of fox and hare | G |
| Driven by dearth | H |
| To forage for their meat | F |
| Even in dooryard bare | G |
| And frosty lawn | I |
| Under the peril of the human race | E |
| And then one primrose dawn | I |
| Sweet sweet O sweet | F |
| And tender tender | C |
| The bluebirds woke the happy earth | H |
| With song | B |
