Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDD EFGFHH IJIJDD IKILMMNO| For moveless limbs no pity I crave | A |
| That never were swift Still all I prize | B |
| Laughter and thought and friends I have | C |
| No fool to heave luxurious sighs | B |
| For the woods and hills that I never knew | D |
| The more excellent way's yet mine And you | D |

| Flower laden come to the clean white cell | E |
| And we talk as ever am I not the same | F |
| With our hearts we love immutable | G |
| You without pity I without shame | F |
| We talk as of old as of old you go | H |
| Out under the sky and laughing I know | H |
| - | |
| Flit through the streets your heart all me | I |
| Till you gain the world beyond the town | J |
| Then I fade from your heart quietly | I |
| And your fleet steps quicken The strong down | J |
| Smiles you welcome there the woods that love you | D |
| Close lovely and conquering arms above you | D |
| - | |
| O ever moving O lithe and free | I |
| Fast in my linen prison I press | K |
| On impassable bars or emptily | I |
| Laugh in my great loneliness | L |
| And still in the white neat bed I strive | M |
| Most impotently against that gyve | M |
| Being less now than a thought even | N |
| To you alone with your hills and heaven | O |
