| It will not be to day and yet | C |
| I think and dream it will and let | C |

| The panes were sweated with the dawn | E |
| Yet through their dimness shriveled drawn | E |
| The aigret of one princess feather | F |
| One monk's hood tuft with oilets wan | G |
| I glimpsed dead in the slaying weather | F |
| - | |
| This morning when my window's chintz | D |
| I drew how gray the day was Since | D |
| I saw him yea all days are gray | H |
| I gazed out on my dripping quince | D |
| Defruited gnarled then turned away | H |
| - | |
| To weep but did not weep but felt | I |
| A colder anguish than did melt | I |
| About the tearful visaged year | J |
| Then flung the lattice wide and smelt | I |
| The autumn sorrow Rotting near | J |

| The rain drenched sunflowers bent and bleached | K |
| Up which the frost nipped gourd vines reached | K |

| - | |
| The podded hollyhocks that Fall | M |
| Had stripped of finery by the wall | M |
| Rustled their tatters dripped and dripped | N |
| The fog thick on them near them all | M |
| The tarnished haglike zinnias tipped | N |
| - | |
| I felt the death and loved it yea | H |
| To have it nearer sought the gray | H |
| Chill fading garth Yet could not weep | O |
| But wandered in an aimless way | H |
| And sighed with weariness for sleep | O |
| - | |
| Mine were the fog the frosty stalks | D |
| The weak lights on the leafy walks | D |
| The shadows shivering with the cold | P |
| The breaking heart the lonely talks | D |
| The last dim ruined marigold | P |
| - | |
| But when to night the moon swings low | Q |
| A great marsh marigold of glow | Q |
| And all my garden with the sea | D |
| Moans then through moon and mist I know | Q |
| My love will come to comfort me | D |
