Rhyme Scheme: ABBAA CDCCD EFFEE GDGGD| The trees fret fitfully and twist | A |

| But to his feet | C |
| Drawing nigh and nigher | D |
| A hidden seat | C |
| The fog is sweet | C |
| And the wind a lyre | D |

| A vacant sameness grays the sky | E |
| A moisture gathers on each knop | F |
| Of the bramble rounding to a drop | F |
| That greets the goer by | E |
| With the cold listless lustre of a dead man's eye | E |
| - | |
| But to her sight | G |
| Drawing nigh and nigher | D |
| Its deep delight | G |
| The fog is bright | G |
| And the wind a lyre | D |
