Rhyme Scheme: ABCAAB DEEDDE FGGFFG HIIJJH| That is a quiet place | A |
| That house in the trees with the shady lawn | B |
| If child you knew what there goes on | C |

| Why a phantom abides there the last of its race | A |
| And a brain spins there till dawn | B |
| - | |
| But I see nobody there | D |
| Nobody moves about the green | E |
| Or wanders the heavy trees between | E |
| Ah that's because you do not bear | D |
| The visioning powers of souls who dare | D |
| To pierce the material screen | E |

| Morning noon and night | F |
| Mid those funereal shades that seem | G |
| The uncanny scenery of a dream | G |
| Figures dance to a mind with sight | F |
| And music and laughter like floods of light | F |
| Make all the precincts gleam | G |
| - | |
| It is a poet's bower | H |
| Through which there pass in fleet arrays | I |
| Long teams of all the years and days | I |
| Of joys and sorrows of earth and heaven | J |
| That meet mankind in its ages seven | J |
| An aion in an hour | H |
