Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJ AFKLMNO OPFQRST AFLCUTrees 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 gray 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 |
