| The mind is Beauty's thief the poet takes | B |
| The golden spendthrift's trail among the blooms | C |
| Where she stands tossing silver in the lakes | B |
| And twisting bright swift threads on airy looms | C |
| Her ring the poppy snatches and the rose | D |
| With laughter plunders all her gusty plumes | C |
| The poet gleans and gathers as she goes | D |
| Heedless of summer's end certain and soon | E |
| Of winter rattling at the door of June | E |

| When Beauty lies hand folded pale and still | F |
| Forsaken of her lovers and her lords | G |
| And winter keeps cold watch upon the hill | F |
| Then he lets fall his bale of coloured words | H |
| At frosty midnight June shall rise in flame | I |
| Move at his magic with her bells and birds | H |
| The rose will redden as he speaks her name | I |
| He shall release earth's frozen bosom there | J |
| And with great words shall cuff the whining air | J |
