Rhyme Scheme: ABCCD EFBGD HIGJD BKDLD IGMDD DBBND| Once again the Steamer at Calais the tackles | A |
| Easing the car trays on to the quay Release her | B |
| Sign refill and let me away with my horses | C |
| Seventy Thundering Horses | C |
| Slow through the traffic my horses It is enough it is France | D |
| - | |
| Whether the throat closing brick fields by Lille or her paves | E |
| Endlessly ending in rain between beet and tobacco | F |
| Or that wind we shave by the brutal North Easter | B |
| Rasping the newly dunged Somme | G |
| Into your collars my horses It is enough it is France | D |
| - | |
| Whether the dappled Argonne the cloud shadows packing | H |
| Either horizon with ghosts or exquisite carven | I |
| Villages hewn from the cliff the torrents behind them | G |
| Feeding their never quenched lights | J |
| Look to your footing my horses It is enough it is France | D |
| - | |
| Whether that gale where Biscay jammed in the corner | B |
| Herds and heads her seas at the Landes but defeated | K |
| Bellowing smokes along Spain till the uttermost headlands | D |
| Make themselves dance in the mist | L |
| Breathe breathe deeply my horses It is enough it is France | D |
| - | |
| Whether the broken honey hued honey combed limestone | I |
| Cream under white hot sun the rosemary bee bloom | G |
| Sleepily noisy at noon and somewhere to Southward | M |
| Sleepily noisy the Sea | D |
| Yes it is warm here my horses It is enough it is France | D |
| - | |
| Whether the Massif in Spring the multiplied lacets | D |
| Hampered by slips or drifts the gentians under | B |
| Turbaned snow pushing up the heavens of Summer | B |
| Though the stark moors lie black | N |
| Neigh through the icicled tunnels It is enough it is France | D |
