Rhyme Scheme: ABABAB CBCBCB BDBDBD EFEGEG BHBHGH| They lean their faces to me through | A |
| Green windows of the woods | B |
| Their white throats sweet with honey dew | A |
| Beneath low leafy hoods | B |
| No dream they dream but hath been true | A |
| Here in the solitudes | B |
| - | |
| Star trillium in the underbrush | C |
| In whom Spring bares her face | B |
| Sun eglantine that breathes the blush | C |
| Of Summer's quiet grace | B |
| Moon mallow in whom lives the hush | C |
| Of Autumn's tragic pace | B |
| - | |
| For one hath heard the dryad's sighs | B |
| Behind the covering bark | D |
| And one hath felt the satyr's eyes | B |
| Gleam in the bosky dark | D |
| And one hath seen the naiad rise | B |
| In waters all a spark | D |
| - | |
| I bend my soul unto them stilled | E |
| In worship man hath lost | F |
| The old world myths that science killed | E |
| Are living things almost | G |
| To me through these whose forms are filled | E |
| With Beauty's pagan ghost | G |

| And through new eyes I seem to see | B |
| The world these live within | H |
| A shuttered world of mystery | B |
| Where unreal forms begin | H |
| The real of ideality | G |
| That has no unreal kin | H |
