Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST LUVWXYZA2B2ZC2ZD2ZYR| No more the end is sudden and abrupt | A |
| Abrupt as without preconceived design | B |
| Was the beginning yet the several Lays | C |
| Have moved in order to each other bound | D |
| By a continuous and acknowledged tie | E |
| Though unapparent like those Shapes distinct | F |
| That yet survive ensculptured on the walls | G |
| Of palaces or temples 'mid the wreck | H |
| Of famed Persepolis each following each | I |
| As might beseem a stately embassy | J |
| In set array these bearing in their hands | K |
| Ensign of civil power weapon of war | L |
| Or gift to be presented at the throne | M |
| Of the Great King and others as they go | N |
| In priestly vest with holy offerings charged | O |
| Or leading victims drest for sacrifice | P |
| Nor will the Power we serve that sacred Power | Q |
| The Spirit of humanity disdain | R |
| A ministration humble but sincere | S |
| That from a threshold loved by every Muse | T |
| Its impulse took that sorrow stricken door | L |
| Whence as a current from its fountain head | U |
| Our thoughts have issued and our feelings flowed | V |
| Receiving willingly or not fresh strength | W |
| From kindred sources while around us sighed | X |
| Life's three first seasons having passed away | Y |
| Leaf scattering winds and hoar frost sprinklings fell | Z |
| Foretaste of winter on the moorland heights | A2 |
| And every day brought with it tidings new | B2 |
| Of rash change ominous for the public weal | Z |
| Hence if dejection has too oft encroached | C2 |
| Upon that sweet and tender melancholy | Z |
| Which may itself be cherished and caressed | D2 |
| More than enough a fault so natural | Z |
| Even with the young the hopeful or the gay | Y |
| For prompt forgiveness will not sue in vain | R |
