Rhyme Scheme: AAAB CCC DDDB CCCB| SNOW BOUND in woodland a mournful word | A |
| Dropt now and then from the bill of a bird | A |
| Reached me on wind wafts and thus I heard | A |
| Wearily waiting | B |
| - | |
| I planned her a nest in a leafless tree | C |
| But the passers eyed and twitted me | C |
| And said 'How reckless a bird is he | C |
| Cheerily mating ' | - |

| Fear filled I stayed me till summer tide | D |
| In lewth of leaves to throne her bride | D |
| But alas her love for me waned and died | D |
| Wearily waiting | B |
| - | |
| Ah had I been like some I see | C |
| Born to an evergreen nesting tree | C |
| None had eyed and twitted me | C |
| Cheerily mating | B |
