Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDB EBFBBB GEHEIE JHKHBH BLMNBN OBPBQB| In the deep shadow of the porch | A |
| A slender bind weed springs | B |
| And climbs like airy acrobat | C |
| The trellises and swings | B |
| And dances in the golden sun | D |
| In fairy loops and rings | B |
| - | |
| Its cup shaped blossoms brimmed with dew | E |
| Like pearly chalices | B |
| Hold cooling fountains to refresh | F |
| The butterflies and bees | B |
| And humming birds on vibrant wings | B |
| Hover to drink at ease | B |
| - | |
| And up and down the garden bed | G |
| Mid box and thyme and yew | E |
| And spikes of purple lavender | H |
| And spikes of larkspur blue | E |
| The bind weed tendrils win their way | I |
| And find a passage through | E |
| - | |
| With touches coaxing delicate | J |
| And arts that never tire | H |
| They tie the rose trees each to each | K |
| The lilac to the brier | H |
| Making for graceless things a grace | B |
| With steady sweet desire | H |
| - | |
| Till near and far the garden growths | B |
| The sweet the frail the rude | L |
| Draw close as if with one consent | M |
| And find each other good | N |
| Held by the bind weed's pliant loops | B |
| In a dear brotherhood | N |
| - | |
| Like one fair sister slender arch | O |
| A flower in bloom and poise | B |
| Gentle and merry and beloved | P |
| Making no stir or noise | B |
| But swaying linking blessing all | Q |
| A family of boys | B |
