Rhyme Scheme: ABCDDC EEFGGF HHIJJI FFKJJK GGLMML NNJOOJ| Once through an autumn wood | A |
| I roamed in tearful mood | B |
| By grief dismayed doubting and ill at ease | C |
| When from a leafless oak | D |
| Methought low murmurs broke | D |
| Complaining accents as of words like these | C |
| - | |
| Incline thy mighty ear | E |
| Great Mother Earth and hear | E |
| How I thy child am sorely vexed and tossed | F |
| No one to heed my moan | G |
| I shudder here alone | G |
| With my destroyers wind and snow and frost | F |
| - | |
| Then low and unaware | H |
| This answer cleaved the air | H |
| This tender answer Doubting one be still | I |
| Oh trust to me and know | J |
| The wind the frost the snow | J |
| Are but my servants sent to do my will | I |
| - | |
| For the destroyer frost | F |
| His labor is not lost | F |
| Rid thee he shall of many noisome things | K |
| And thou shalt praise the snow | J |
| When drinking far below | J |
| Refreshment sweet from overflowing springs | K |
| - | |
| My child thou'rt not alone | G |
| I love thee hear thy moan | G |
| But winds that fret thee only causeth thee | L |
| To more securely stand | M |
| More firmly clasp my hand | M |
| And soaring upward closer cling to me | L |
| - | |
| Then from my burdened heart | N |
| The shadows did depart | N |
| Then said I softly winds of sorrow blow | J |
| So I but closer cling | O |
| To thee my Lord my King | O |
| Who loves me even me so weak and low | J |
