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 |

| 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 |
