Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEFGGHHAAIIJJ KKLLLMMNNOOPPQQQRRSS TTT| There is a woodland witch who lies | A |
| With bloom bright limbs and beam bright eyes | A |
| Among the water flags that rank | B |
| The slow brook's heron haunted bank | B |
| The dragon flies brass bright and blue | C |
| Are signs she works her sorcery through | C |
| Weird wizard characters she weaves | D |
| Her spells by under forest leaves | D |
| These wait her word like imps upon | E |
| The gray flag pods their wings of lawn | F |
| And gauze their bodies gleaming green | G |
| While o'er the wet sand left between | G |
| The running water and the still | H |
| In pansy hues and daffodil | H |
| The fancies that she doth devise | A |
| Take on the forms of butterflies | A |
| Rich coloured And 'tis she you hear | I |
| Whose sleepy rune hummed in the ear | I |
| Of silence bees and beetles purr | J |
| And the dry droning locusts whirr | J |
| Till where the wood is very lone | K |
| Vague monotone meets monotone | K |
| And slumber is begot and born | L |
| A faery child beneath the thorn | L |
| There is no mortal who may scorn | L |
| The witchery she spreads around | M |
| Her din demesne wherein is bound | M |
| The beauty of abandoned time | N |
| As some sweet thought 'twixt rhyme and rhyme | N |
| And through her spells you shall behold | O |
| The blue turn gray the gray turn gold | O |
| Of hollow heaven and the brown | P |
| Of twilight vistas twinkled down | P |
| With fireflies and in the gloom | Q |
| Feel the cool vowels of perfume | Q |
| Slow syllabled of weed and bloom | Q |
| But in the night at languid rest | R |
| When like a spirit's naked breast | R |
| The moon slips from a silver mist | S |
| With star bound brow and star wreathed wrist | S |
| If you should see her rise and wave | T |
| You welcome ah what thing could save | T |
| You then for evermore her slave | T |
