Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFEGHIJKDLDGMNM OJGPGQRQSTUTVWXWYIZJ| Each day I sit in an ill lighted room | A |
| To teach a boy | B |
| For one hour by the clock great words and dreams | C |
| Are our employ | B |
| We read St Agnes' Eve and that more fair | D |
| Eve of St Mark | E |
| At a small table up against the wall | F |
| In the half dark | E |
| I tell him all the wise things I have read | G |
| Concerning Keats | H |
| 'His earlier work is overfull of sense | I |
| And sensual sweets ' | J |
| I tell him all that comes into my mind | K |
| From God knows where | D |
| Remark 'In English poets Bertha's type | L |
| Is jolly rare | D |
| She's a real girl that strains her eyes to read | G |

| His brown cheek glows | Q |
| I like his black eyes and his sprawling limbs | R |
| And his short nose | Q |
| He feeling dreads the splendour of the verse | S |
| But he must learn | T |
| To write about it neatly and to quote | U |
| These lines that burn | T |
| He drapes his soul in my obscuring words | V |
| Makes himself fit | W |
| To go into a sunny world and take | X |
| His part in it | W |
| 'Examiners' point of view you know ' say I | Y |
| 'Is commonsense | I |
| You must sift poetry before you can | Z |
| Sift Evidence ' | J |
