Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFGF HI JKJK| It is sad that so many of worth | A |
| Still in the flesh soughed the yew | B |
| Misjudge their lot whom kindly earth | A |
| Secludes from view | B |
| - | |
| They ride their diurnal round | C |
| Each day span's sum of hours | D |
| In peerless ease without jolt or bound | C |
| Or ache like ours | D |

| If the living could but hear | E |
| What is heard by my roots as they creep | F |
| Round the restful flock and the things said there | G |
| No one would weep | F |

| 'Now set among the wise ' | - |
| They say 'Enlarged in scope | H |
| That no God trumpet us to rise | I |
| We truly hope ' | - |

| I listened to his strange tale | J |
| In the mood that stillness brings | K |
| And I grew to accept as the day wore pale | J |
| That show of things | K |
