Rhyme Scheme: AABCADDDEBB AABFADDDBBB| The warm sun is falling the bleak wind is wailing | A |
| The bare boughs are sighing the pale flowers are dying | A |
| And the Year | B |
| On the earth is her death bed in a shroud of leaves dead | C |
| Is lying | A |
| Come Months come away | D |
| From November to May | D |
| In your saddest array | D |
| Follow the bier | E |
| Of the dead cold Year | B |
| And like dim shadows watch by her sepulchre | B |
| - | |
| The chill rain is falling the nipped worm is crawling | A |
| The rivers are swelling the thunder is knelling | A |
| For the Year | B |
| The blithe swallows are flown and the lizards each gone | F |
| To his dwelling | A |
| Come Months come away | D |
| Put on white black and gray | D |
| Let your light sisters play | D |
| Ye follow the bier | B |
| Of the dead cold Year | B |
| And make her grave green with tear on tear | B |
