Rhyme Scheme: ABCB BDED BFBF| Nine drops of water bead the jessamine | A |
| And nine and ninety smear the stones and tiles | B |
| 'Twas not so in that August full rayed fine | C |
| When we lived out of doors sang songs strode miles | B |
| - | |
| Or was there then no noted radiancy | B |
| Of summer Were dun clouds a dribbling bough | D |
| Gilt over by the light I bore in me | E |
| And was the waste world just the same as now | D |
| - | |
| It can have been so yea that threatenings | B |
| Of coming down drip on the sunless gray | F |
| By the then possibilities in things | B |
| Were wrought more bright than brightest skies to day | F |
