Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIAJKLMCNAJKC OCNPQJLRSOTCUVJWXLRY JJ| I was walking by the road I do not | A |
| know why when the noonday was past | B |
| and bamboo branches rustled in the | C |
| wind | D |
| The prone shadows with their out | E |
| stretched arms clung to the feet of | F |
| the hurrying light | G |
| The koels were weary of their | H |
| songs | I |
| I was walking by the road I do not | A |
| know why | J |
| The hut by the side of the water is | K |
| shaded by an overhanging tree | L |
| Some on was busy with her work | M |
| and her bangles made music in the | C |
| corner | N |
| I stood before this hut I know not | A |
| why | J |
| The narrow winding road crosses | K |
| many a mustard field and many a | C |
| mango forest | O |
| It passes by the temple of the | C |
| village and the market at the river | N |

| why | J |
| Years ago it was a day of breezy | L |
| March when the murmur of the spring | R |
| was languorous and mango blossoms | S |
| were dropping on the dust | O |
| The rippling water leapt and licked | T |
| the brass vessel that stood on the | C |
| landing step | U |
| I think of that day of breezy March | V |
| I do not know why | J |
| Shadows are deepening and cattle | W |
| returning to their folds | X |
| The light is grey upon the lonely | L |
| meadows and the villagers are waiting | R |
| for the ferry at the bank | Y |
| I slowly return upon my steps I | J |
| do not know why | J |
