Rhyme Scheme: AABBBBCCDEFFGHIIJJKK LLBBMMBBBBNNOOBBBBFF PPQQRR| The hillside smokes | A |
| With trailing mist around the rosy oaks | A |
| While sunset builds | B |
| A gorgeous Asia in the west she gilds | B |
| Auroral streaks | B |
| Sword through the heavens' Himalayan peaks | B |
| In which behold | C |
| Burn mines of Indian ruby and of gold | C |
| A moment and | D |
| A shadow stalks between it and the land | E |
| A mist a breath | F |
| A premonition with the face of death | F |
| Turning to frost | G |
| The air it breathes like some invisible ghost | H |
| Then wild of hair | I |
| Demons seem streaming to their fiery lair | I |
| A chasm the same | J |
| That splits the clouds' face with a leer of flame | J |
| The wind comes up | K |
| And fills the hollow land as wine a cup | K |
| Around and round | L |
| It skips the dead leaves o'er the forest's ground | L |
| A myriad fays | B |
| And imps seem dancing down the withered ways | B |
| And far and near | M |
| It makes of every bush a whisperer | M |
| Telling dark tales | B |
| Of things that happened in the ghostly vales | B |
| Of things the fox | B |
| Barks at and sees among the haunted rocks | B |
| At which the owl | N |
| Hoots and the wolf hound cringes with a growl | N |
| Now on the road | O |
| It walks like feet too weary for their load | O |
| Shuffling the leaves | B |
| With stormy sighs onward it plods and heaves | B |
| Till in the hills | B |
| Among the red death there itself it kills | B |
| And with its death | F |
| Earth so its seems draws in a mighty breath | F |
| And like a clown | P |
| Who wanders lost upon a haunted down | P |
| Turns towards the east | Q |
| Fearful of coming goblin or of beast | Q |
| And sees a light | R |
| The jack o' lantern moon glow into sight | R |
