| What things for dream there are when spectre like | B |
| Moving among tall haycocks lightly piled | C |
| I enter alone upon the stubble field | D |
| From which the laborers' voices late have died | E |
| And in the antiphony of afterglow | F |
| And rising full moon sit me down | G |
| Upon the full moon's side of the first haycock | H |
| And lose myself amid so many alike | B |
| I dream upon the opposing lights of the hour | I |
| Preventing shadow until the moon prevail | J |
| I dream upon the night hawks peopling heaven | K |
| Each circling each with vague unearthly cry | L |
| Or plunging headlong with fierce twang afar | M |
| And on the bat's mute antics who would seem | N |
| Dimly to have made out my secret place | O |
| Only to lose it when he pirouettes | P |
| And seek it endlessly with purblind haste | Q |
| On the last swallow's sweep and on the rasp | R |
| In the abyss of odor and rustle at my back | S |
| That silenced by my advent finds once more | T |
| After an interval his instrument | U |
| And tries once twice and thrice if I be there | V |
| And on the worn book of old golden song | W |
| I brought not here to read it seems but hold | X |
| And freshen in this air of withering sweetness | Y |
| But on the memory of one absent most | Z |
| For whom these lines when they shall greet her eye | L |
