Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEDE FGHGI JKJE| April dusk | A |
| It is tragic to be a poet now | B |
| And not a lover | C |
| Paradised under the mutest bough | B |
| - | |
| I look through my window and see | D |
| The ghost of life flitting bat winged | E |
| O I am as old as a sage can even be | D |
| O I am as lonely as the first fool kinged | E |
| - | |
| The horse in his stall turns away | F |
| From the hay filled manger dreaming of grass | G |
| Soft and cool in hollows Does he neigh | H |
| Jealousy words for John MacGuigan's ass | G |
| That never was civilised in stall or trace | I |
| - | |
| An unmusical ploughboy whistles down the lane | J |
| Not worried at all about the fate of Europe | K |
| While I sit here feeling the subtle pain | J |
| Of one whose Tree of God has been uprooted | E |
