Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRS TUSSVWTXYGZA2SQFB2C2 D2K| Winter is come again The sweet south west | A |
| Is a forgotten wind and the strong earth | B |
| Has laid aside its mantle to be bound | C |
| By the frost fetter There is not a sound | C |
| Save of the skaiter's heel and there is laid | D |
| An icy finger on the lip of streams | E |
| And the clear icicle hangs cold and still | F |
| And the snow fall is noiseless as a thought | G |
| Spring has a rushing sound and Summer sends | H |
| Many sweet voices with its odors out | I |
| And Autumn rustleth its decaying robe | J |
| With a complaining whisper Winter's dumb | K |
| God made his ministry a silent one | L |
| And he has given him a foot of steel | M |
| And an unlovely aspect and a breath | N |
| Sharp to the senses and we know that He | O |
| Tempereth well and hath a meaning hid | P |
| Under the shadow of his hand Look up | Q |
| And it shall be interpreted Your home | R |
| Hath a temptation now There is no voice | S |
| Of waters with beguiling for your ear | T |
| And the cool forest and the meadows green | U |
| Witch not your feet away and in the dells | S |
| There are no violets and upon the hills | S |
| There are no sunny places to lie down | V |
| You must go in and by your cheerful fire | W |
| Wait for the offices of love and hear | T |
| Accents of human tenderness and feast | X |
| Your eye upon the beauty of the young | Y |
| It is a season for the quiet thought | G |
| And the still reckoning with thyself The year | Z |
| Gives back the spirits of its dead and time | A2 |
| Whispers the history of its vanished hours | S |
| And the heart calling its affections up | Q |
| Counteth its wasted ingots Life stands still | F |
| And settles like a fountain and the eye | B2 |
| Sees clearly through its depths and noteth all | C2 |
| That stirred its troubled waters It is well | D2 |
| That Winter with the dying year should come | K |
