Rhyme Scheme: AABCCBDEEDFFGGHHIIJJ AAKK| His eyes are quickened so with grief | A |
| He can watch a grass or leaf | A |
| Every instant grow he can | B |
| Clearly through a flint wall see | C |
| Or watch the startled spirit flee | C |
| From the throat of a dead man | B |
| Across two counties he can hear | D |
| And catch your words before you speak | E |
| The woodlouse or the maggot's weak | E |
| Clamour rings in his sad ear | D |

| Worm talk clashing jaws of moth | G |
| Chumbling holes in cloth | G |
| The groan of ants who undertake | H |
| Gigantic loads for honour's sake | H |
| Their sinews creak their breath comes thin | I |
| Whir of spiders when they spin | I |
| And minute whispering mumbling sighs | J |
| Of idle grubs and flies | J |
| This man is quickened so with grief | A |
| He wanders god like or like thief | A |
| Inside and out below above | K |
| Without relief seeking lost love | K |
