Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE CGDG HIJI AKLK| The woods are haggard and lonely | A |
| The skies are hooded for snow | B |
| The moon is cold in Heaven | C |
| And the grasses are sere below | B |
| - | |
| The bearded swamps are breathing | D |
| A mist from meres afar | E |
| And grimly the Great Bear circles | F |
| Under the pale Pole Star | E |
| - | |
| There is never a voice in Heaven | C |
| Nor ever a sound on earth | G |
| Where the spectres of winter are rising | D |
| Over the night's wan girth | G |
| - | |
| There is slumber and death in the silence | H |
| There is hate in the winds so keen | I |
| And the flash of the north's great sword blade | J |
| Circles its cruel sheen | I |
| - | |
| The world grows ag d and wintry | A |
| Love's face peak d and white | K |
| And death is kind to the tired ones | L |
| Who sleep in the north to night | K |
