Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHIJ KLML HNON| Behold the apples rounded worlds | A |
| juice green of July rain | B |
| the black polestar of flowers the rind | C |
| mapped with its crimson stain | B |
| - | |
| The russet crab and cottage red | D |
| burn to the sun s hot brass | E |
| then drop like sweat from every branch | F |
| and bubble in the grass | E |

| They lie as wanton as they fall | G |
| and where they fall and break | H |
| the stallion clamps his crunching jaws | I |
| the starling stabs his beak | J |
| - | |
| In each plump gourd the cidery bite | K |
| of boys teeth tears the skin | L |
| the waltzing wasp consumes his share | M |
| the bent worm enters in | L |
| - | |
| I with as easy hunger take | H |
| entire my season s dole | N |
| welcome the ripe the sweet the sour | O |
| the hollow and the whole | N |
