Rhyme Scheme: A BCCBBCCBDEFGEF| ON THE RECEIPT OF A FAMILIAR POEM | A |
| - | |
| To me like hauntings of a vagrant breath | B |
| From some far forest which I once have known | C |
| The perfume of this flower of verse is blown | C |
| Tho' seemingly soul blossoms faint to death | B |
| Naught that with joy she bears e'er withereth | B |
| So tho' the pregnant years have come and flown | C |
| Lives come and gone and altered like mine own | C |
| This poem comes to me a shibboleth | B |
| Brings sound of past communings to my ear | D |
| Turns round the tide of time and bears me back | E |
| Along an old and long untraversed way | F |
| Makes me forget this is a later year | G |
| Makes me tread o'er a reminiscent track | E |
| Half sad half glad to one forgotten day | F |
