Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GFGF HIHI JKJK LMLM| White from her chrysalis of cloud | A |
| The moth like moon swings upward through the night | B |
| And all the bee like stars that crowd | A |
| The hollow hive of heav'n wane in her light | B |
| - | |
| Along the distance folds of mist | C |
| Hang frost pale ridging all the dark with gray | D |
| Tinting the trees with amethyst | C |
| Touching with pearl and purple every spray | D |
| - | |
| All night the stealthy frost and fog | E |
| Conspire to slay the rich robed weeds and flowers | F |
| To strip of wealth the woods and clog | E |
| With piled up gold of leaves the creek that cowers | F |
| - | |
| I seem to see their Spirits stand | G |
| Molded of moonlight faint of form and face | F |
| Now reaching high a chilly hand | G |
| To pluck some walnut from its spicy place | F |
| - | |
| Now with fine fingers phantom cold | H |
| Splitting the wahoo's pods of rose and thin | I |
| The bittersweet's balls o' gold | H |
| To show the coal red berries packed within | I |
| - | |
| Now on dim threads of gossamer | J |
| Stringing pale pearls of moisture necklacing | K |
| The flow'rs and spreading cobweb fur | J |
| Crystaled with stardew over everything | K |
| - | |
| While 'neath the moon with moon white feet | L |
| They go and chill a moon soft music draw | M |
| From wan leaf cricket flutes the sweet | L |
| Sad dirge of Autumn dying in the shaw | M |
