Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDD EFGFHH IJKJLL LMNMOO OOPOL| The sun is clear of bird and cloud | A |
| The grass shines windless grey and still | B |
| In dusky ruin the owl dreams on | C |
| The cuckoo echoes on the hill | B |
| Yet soft along Alulvan's walks | D |
| The ghost at noonday stalks | D |
| - | |
| His eyes in shadow of his hat | E |
| Stare on the ruins of his house | F |
| His cloak up fasten'd with a brooch | G |
| Of faded velvet grey as mouse | F |

| Yet wavers not one rose | H |

| The wild birds in a cloud fly up | I |
| From their sweet feeding in the fruit | J |
| The droning of the bees and flies | K |
| Rises gradual as a lute | J |
| Is it for fear the birds are flown | L |
| And shrills the insect drone | L |
| - | |
| Thick is the ivy o'er Alulvan | L |
| And crisp with summer heat its turf | M |
| Far far across its empty pastures | N |
| Alulvan's sands are white with surf | M |
| And he himself is grey as sea | O |
| Watching beneath an elder tree | O |
| - | |
| All night the fretful shrill Banshee | O |
| Lurks in the chambers' dark festoons | O |
| Calling for ever o'er garden and river | P |
| Through magpie changing of the moons | O |
| 'Alulvan O alas Alulvan | L |
| The doom of lone Alulvan ' | - |
