| Awake that night | B |
| Wishing that night | B |
| Would name the hour | C |
| And tell me whether | C |
| To call it day | A |
| Though not yet light | B |
| And give up sleep | D |
| The snow fell deep | D |
| With the hiss of spray | A |
| Two winds would meet | E |
| One down one street | E |
| One down another | C |
| And fight in a smother | C |
| Of dust and feather | C |
| I could not say | A |
| But feared the cold | F |
| Had checked the pace | G |
| Of the tower clock | H |
| By tying together | C |
| Its hands of gold | F |
| Before its face | G |
| - | |
| Then cane one knock | H |
| A note unruffled | I |
| Of earthly weather | C |
| Though strange and muffled | I |
| The tower said One ' | - |
| And then a steeple | J |
| They spoke to themselves | K |
| And such few people | J |
| As winds might rouse | L |
| From sleeping warm | M |
| But not unhouse | L |
| They left the storm | M |
| That struck en masse | L |
| My window glass | L |
| Like a beaded fur | C |
| In that grave One | N |
| They spoke of the sun | N |
| And moon and stars | L |
| Saturn and Mars | L |
| And Jupiter | C |
| Still more unfettered | O |
| They left the named | P |
| And spoke of the lettered | O |
| The sigmas and taus | L |
| Of constellations | L |
| They filled their throats | L |
| With the furthest bodies | L |
| To which man sends his | L |
| Speculation | N |
| Beyond which God is | L |
| The cosmic motes | L |
| Of yawning lenses | L |
| Their solemn peals | L |
| Were not their own | Q |
| They spoke for the clock | H |
| With whose vast wheels | L |
| Theirs interlock | H |
| In that grave word | O |
| Uttered alone | Q |
| The utmost star | R |
| Trembled and stirred | O |
| Though set so far | R |
| Its whirling frenzies | L |
| Appear like standing | S |
| in one self station | N |
| It has not ranged | T |
| And save for the wonder | C |
| Of once expanding | S |
| To be a nova | U |
| It has not changed | T |
| To the eye of man | V |
| On planets over | C |
| Around and under | C |
| It in creation | N |
| Since man began | V |
| To drag down man | V |
| And nation nation | N |
