Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJ AFKLMNO OPFQRST AFLCU| Trees and the menace of night | A |
| Then a long lonely leaden mere | B |
| Backed by a desolate fell | C |
| As by a spectral battlement and then | D |
| Low brooding interpenetrating all | E |
| A vast grey listless inexpressive sky | F |
| So beggared so incredibly bereft | G |
| Of starlight and the song of racing worlds | H |
| It might have bellied down upon the Void | I |
| Where as in terror Light was beginning to be | J |
| - | |
| Hist In the trees fulfilled of night | A |
| Night and the wretchedness of the sky | F |
| Is it the hurry of the rain | K |
| Or the noise of a drive of the Dead | L |
| Streaming before the irresistible Will | M |
| Through the strange dusk of this the Debateable Land | N |
| Between their place and ours | O |
| - | |
| Like the forgetfulness | O |
| Of the work a day world made visible | P |
| A mist falls from the melancholy sky | F |
| A messenger from some lost and loving soul | Q |
| Hopeless far wandered dazed | R |
| Here in the provinces of life | S |
| A great white moth fades miserably past | T |
| - | |
| Thro' the trees in the strange dead night | A |
| Under the vast dead sky | F |
| Forgetting and forgot a drift of Dead | L |
| Sets to the mystic mere the phantom fell | C |
| And the unimagined vastitudes beyond | U |
