Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCDDEE FGFHIIJJKK LMLMNNOOPP QEQERRCCSS| When winter comes and takes away the rose | A |
| And all the singing of sweet birds is done | B |
| The warm and honeyed world lost deep in snows | A |
| Still independent of the summer sun | B |
| In vain with sullen roar | C |
| December shakes my door | C |
| And sleet upon the pane | D |
| Threatens my peace in vain | D |
| While seated by the fire upon my knee | E |
| My love abides with me | E |

| For he who wise in time his harvest yields | F |
| Reaped into barns sweet smelling and secure | G |
| Smiles as the rain beats sternly on his fields | F |
| For wealth is his no winter can make poor | H |
| Safe all his waving gold | I |
| Shut in against the cold | I |
| Treasure of summer grass | J |

| Still fragrant in the garden of her breast | L |
| The flowers that fled with summer softly bloom | M |
| The birds that shook with song each empty nest | L |
| Still when she speaks fill all the listening room | M |
| Deep sheltered from the storm | N |
| Within her blossoming form | N |
| Flower breathed and singing sweet | O |
| Is she from head to feet | O |
| All summer in my sweetheart doth abide | P |
| Though winter be outside | P |
| - | |
| So all the various wonder of the world | Q |
| The wizard moon and stars the haunted sea | E |
| In her small being mystically furled | Q |
| She brings as in a golden cup to me | E |
| Within no other book | R |
| My eyes for wisdom look | R |
| That have her eyes for lore | C |
| And when the flaming door | C |
| Opens into the dark what shall I fear | S |
| Adventuring with my dear | S |
