Rhyme Scheme: ABBACCC DCCDEEE FCCGHHH IJJIKKK| I should not have shown in the flesh | A |
| I ought to have gone as a ghost | B |
| It was awkward unseemly almost | B |
| Standing solidly there as when fresh | A |
| Pink tiny crisp curled | C |
| My pinions yet furled | C |
| From the winds of the world | C |
| - | |
| After waiting so many a year | D |
| To wait longer and go as a sprite | C |
| From the tomb at the mid of some night | C |
| Was the right radiant way to appear | D |
| Not as one wanzing weak | E |
| From life's roar and reek | E |
| His rest still to seek | E |
| - | |
| Yea beglimpsed through the quaint quarried glass | F |
| Of green moonlight by me greener made | C |
| When they'd cry perhaps There sits his shade | C |
| In his olden haunt just as he was | G |
| When in Walkingame he | H |
| Conned the grand Rule of Three | H |
| With the bent of a bee | H |
| - | |
| But to show in the afternoon sun | I |
| With an aspect of hollow eyed care | J |
| When none wished to see me come there | J |
| Was a garish thing better undone | I |
| Yes wrong was the way | K |
| But yet let me say | K |
| I may right it some day | K |
