Rhyme Scheme: ABBAAAAACADCAD E F AAAAAAAAGHIGJI E K AGGAAGGAALAALA M N AAAAAAAAGAOGAP| Deep in her broom sedge burs and iron weeds | A |
| Her frost slain asters and dead mallow moons | B |
| Where gray the wilding clematis balloons | B |
| The brake with puff balls where the slow stream leads | A |
| Her sombre steps decked with the scarlet beads | A |
| Of hip and haw through dolorous maroons | A |
| And desolate golds she goes the wailing tunes | A |
| Of all the winds about her like wild reeds | A |
| The red wrought iron hues that flush the green | C |
| Of blackberry briers and the bronze that stains | A |
| The oak's sere leaves are in her cheeks the gray | D |
| Of forest pools clocked thin with ice is keen | C |
| In her cold eyes and in her hair the rain's | A |
| Chill silver glimmers like a winter ray | D |

| Lost in the sleepy grays and drowsy browns | A |
| Of woodlands smoky with the autumn haze | A |
| Where dull the last leafed maples smouldering blaze | A |
| Like ghosts of wigwam fires the Month uncrowns | A |
| Her frosty hair and where the forest drowns | A |
| The road in shadows in the rutted ways | A |
| Filled full of freezing rain her robe she lays | A |
| Of tattered gold and seats herself and frowns | A |
| And at her frown each wood and bushy hill | G |
| Darkens with prescience of approaching storm | H |
| Her soul's familiar fiend who with wild broom | I |
| Of wind and rain works her resistless will | G |
| Sweeping the world and driving with mad arm | J |
| The clouds like leaves through the tumultuous gloom | I |

| The shivering wind sits in the oaks whose limbs | A |
| Twisted and tortured nevermore are still | G |
| Grief and decay sit with it they whose chill | G |
| Autumnal touch makes hectic red the rims | A |
| Of all the oak leaves desolating dims | A |
| The ageratum's blue that banks the rill | G |
| And splits the milkweed's pod upon the hill | G |
| And shakes it free of the last seed that swims | A |
| Down goes the day despondent to its close | A |
| And now the sunset's hands of copper build | L |
| A tower of brass behind whose burning bars | A |
| The day in fierce barbarian repose | A |
| Like some imprisoned Inca sits hate filled | L |
| Crowned with the gold corymbus of the stars | A |

| Night | N |

| There is a booming in the forest boughs | A |
| Tremendous feet seem trampling through the trees | A |
| The storm is at his wildman revelries | A |
| And earth and heaven echo his carouse | A |
| Night reels with tumult And from out her house | A |
| Of cloud the moon looks like a face one sees | A |
| In nightmare hurrying with pale eyes that freeze | A |
| Stooping above with white malignant brows | A |
| The isolated oak upon the hill | G |
| That seemed at sunset in terrific lands | A |
| A Titan head black in a sea of blood | O |
| Now seems a monster harp whose wild strings thrill | G |
| To the vast fingering of innumerable hands | A |
| The Spirits of Tempest and of Solitude | P |
