Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJ KLMNOPQRS| 'Tea leaves I've given up | A |
| And that crooked line | B |
| On the queen's palm | C |
| Is no more my concern | D |
| On my black pilgrimage | E |
| This moon pocked crystal ball | F |
| Will break before it help | G |
| Rather than croak out | H |
| What's to come | I |
| My darling ravens are flown | J |

| 'Forswear those freezing tricks of sight | K |
| And all else I've taught | L |
| Against the flower in the blood | M |
| Not wealth nor wisdom stands | N |
| Above the simple vein | O |
| The straight mouth | P |
| Go to your greenhorn youth | Q |
| Before time ends | R |
| And do good | S |
| With your white hands ' | - |
