Rhyme Scheme: ABCADEFGHIAJKLA| The tree is here still in pure stone | A |
| in deep evidence in solid beauty | B |
| layered through a hundred million years | C |
| Agate cornelian gemstone | A |
| transmuted the timber and sap | D |
| until damp corruptions | E |
| fissured the giant's trunk | F |
| fusing a parallel being | G |
| the living leaves | H |
| unmade themselves | I |
| and when the pillar was overthrown | A |
| fire in the forest blaze of the dust cloud | J |
| celestial ashes mantled it round | K |
| until time and the lava created | L |
| this gift of translucent stone | A |
