Rhyme Scheme: ABCBBA DEFEED GDHDDG AIJIIA| The sunlight on the garden | A |
| Hardens and grows cold | B |
| We cannot cage the minute | C |
| Within its nets of gold | B |
| When all is told | B |
| We cannot beg for pardon | A |
| - | |
| Our freedom as free lances | D |
| Advances towards its end | E |
| The earth compels upon it | F |
| Sonnets and birds descend | E |
| And soon my friend | E |
| We shall have no time for dances | D |
| - | |
| The sky was good for flying | G |
| Defying the church bells | D |
| And every evil iron | H |
| Siren and what it tells | D |
| The earth compels | D |
| We are dying Egypt dying | G |
| - | |
| And not expecting pardon | A |
| Hardened in heart anew | I |
| But glad to have sat under | J |
| Thunder and rain with you | I |
| And grateful too | I |
| For sunlight on the garden | A |
