Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEDFDGD DDFFEDHDIDFDADADDD JKDFLDMD| At night by the fire | A |
| The colors of the bushes | B |
| And of the fallen leaves | C |
| Repeating themselves | D |
| Turned in the room | E |
| Like the leaves themselves | D |
| Turning in the wind | F |
| Yes but the color of the heavy hemlocks | D |
| Came striding | G |
| And I remembered the cry of the peacocks | D |
| - | |
| The colors of their tails | D |
| Were like the leaves themselves | D |
| Turning in the wind | F |
| In the twilight wind | F |
| They swept over the room | E |
| Just as they flew from the boughs of the hemlocks | D |
| Down to the ground | H |
| I heard them cry the peacocks | D |
| Was it a cry against the twilight | I |
| Or against the leaves themselves | D |
| Turning in the wind | F |
| Turning as the flames | D |
| Turned in the fire | A |
| Turning as the tails of the peacocks | D |
| Turned in the loud fire | A |
| Loud as the hemlocks | D |
| Full of the cry of the peacocks | D |
| Or was it a cry against the hemlocks | D |
| - | |
| Out of the window | J |
| I saw how the planets gathered | K |
| Like the leaves themselves | D |
| Turning in the wind | F |
| I saw how the night came | L |
| Came striding like the color of the heavy hemlocks | D |
| I felt afraid | M |
| And I remembered the cry of the peacocks | D |
