Rhyme Scheme: ABAACCB DEDDFFE GBGGBBH IJIIHHJ| The great sun sinks behind the town | A |
| Through a red mist of Volnay wine | B |
| But what's the use of setting down | A |
| That glorious blaze behind the town | A |
| You'll only skip the page you'll look | C |
| For newer pictures in this book | C |
| You've read of sunsets rich as mine | B |
| - | |
| A fresh wind fills the evening air | D |
| With horrid crying of night birds | E |
| But what reads new or curious there | D |
| When cold winds fly across the air | D |
| You'll only frown you'll turn the page | F |
| But find no glimpse of your New Age | F |
| Of Poetry in my worn out words | E |
| - | |
| Must winds that cut like blades of steel | G |
| And sunsets swimming in Volnay | B |
| The holiest cruellest pains I feel | G |
| Die stillborn because old men squeal | G |
| For something new Write something new | B |
| We've read this poem that one too | B |
| And twelve more like 'em yesterday | H |
| - | |
| No no my chicken I shall scrawl | I |
| Just what I fancy as I strike it | J |
| Fairies and Fusiliers and all | I |
| Old broken knock kneed thought will crawl | I |
| Across my verse in the classic way | H |
| And sir be careful what you say | H |
| There are old fashioned folk still like it | J |
