| The blackbird sang the skies were clear and clean | B |
| We bowled along a road that curved a spine | C |
| Superbly sinuous and serpentine | C |
| Thro' silent symphonies of summer green | B |
| Sudden the Forth came on us sad of mien | B |
| No cloud to colour it no breeze to line | C |
| A sheet of dark dull glass without a sign | C |
| Of life or death two spits of sand between | B |
| Water and sky merged blank in mist together | D |
| The Fort loomed spectral and the Guardship's spars | A |
| Traced vague black shadows on the shimmery glaze | A |
| We felt the dim strange years the grey strange weather | D |
| The still strange land unvexed of sun or stars | A |
| Where Lancelot rides clanking thro' the haze | A |
