Rhyme Scheme: AABCCB DDEFFF AAGHHG| I was sitting | A |
| She was knitting | A |
| And the portraits of our fore folk hung around | B |
| When there struck on us a sigh | C |

| And we looked up at each face | F |
| Framed and glazed there in its place | F |
| Still hearkening but thenceforth was silentness | F |

| Half in dreaming | A |
| Then its meaning | A |
| Said we must be surely this that they repine | G |
