Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDE FGFGHIHI JKJKLMNM| The blackened walnut in its spicy hull | A |
| Rots where it fell | B |
| And in the orchard where the trees stand full | C |
| The pear's ripe bell | B |
| Drops and the log house in the bramble lane | D |
| From whose low door | E |
| Stretch yellowing acres of the corn and cane | D |
| He sees once more | E |
| - | |
| The cat bird sings upon its porch of pine | F |
| And o'er its gate | G |
| All slender podded twists the trumpet vine | F |
| A leafy weight | G |
| And in the woodland by the spring mayhap | H |
| With eyes of joy | I |
| Again he bends to set a rabbit trap | H |
| A brown faced boy | I |
| - | |
| Then whistling through the underbrush he goes | J |
| Out of the wood | K |
| Where with young cheeks red as an Autumn rose | J |
| Beneath her hood | K |
| His sweetheart waits her school books on her arm | L |
| And now it seems | M |
| Beside his chair he sees his wife's fair form | N |
| The old man dreams | M |
