Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDA EFBFBE GHIHIG JKLKMJ NOPOPN OOOOOO| When leaf and flower are newly made | A |
| And bird and butterfly and bee | B |
| Are at their summer posts again | C |
| When all is ready lo 'tis she | B |
| Suddenly there after soft rain | D |
| The deep lashed dryad of the shade | A |
| - | |
| Shadow the fairest gift of June | E |
| Gone like the rose the winter through | F |
| Save in the ribbed anatomy | B |
| Of ebon line the moonlight drew | F |
| Stark on the snow of tower or tree | B |
| Like letters of a dead man's rune | E |
| - | |
| Dew breathing shade all summer lies | G |
| In the cool hollow of thy breast | H |

| The very sun steals down to rest | H |
| Within thy swaying tendrilled hair | I |
| And forest flicker of thine eyes | G |
| - | |
| Made of all shapes that flit and sway | J |
| And mass and scatter in the breeze | K |
| And meet and part open and close | L |
| Thou sister of the clouds and trees | K |
| Thou daintier phantom of the rose | M |
| Thou nun of the hot and honeyed day | J |
| - | |
| Misdeemed art thou of those who hold | N |
| Darkness thy soul thy dwelling place | O |
| Night and its stars nay all of light | P |
| Wert though begot all flowers thy face | O |
| And hushed in thee all colours bright | P |
| Hide from the noon their blue and gold | N |
| - | |
| Thy voice the song of hidden rills | O |
| The sigh deep bosomed silence heaves | O |
| From the full heart of happy things | O |
| The lap of water lily leaves | O |
| The noiseless language of the wings | O |
| Of evening making strange the hills | O |
