Rhyme Scheme: ABAAB CDCCD EFGGF| The rain and the wind the wind and the rain | A |
| They are with us like a disease | B |

| And savage the helpless trees | B |

| What does it profit a man to know | C |
| These tattered and tumbling skies | D |
| A million stately stars will show | C |
| And the ruining grace of the after glow | C |
| And the rush of the wild sunrise | D |

| Ever the rain the rain and the wind | E |
| Come hunch with me over the fire | F |
| Dream of the dreams that leered abd grinned | G |
| Ere the blood of the Year got chilled and thinned | G |
| And the death came on desire | F |
