Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKILMNBOPCQ RSTLAUEBVWXQOQIQYZMA 2B2LC2D2AE2F2L| Look Dear how bright the moonlight is to night | A |
| See where it casts the shadow of that tree | B |
| Far out upon the grass And every gust | C |
| Of light night wind comes laden with the scent | D |
| Of opening flowers which never bloom by day | E |
| Night scented stocks and four o'clocks and that | F |
| Pale yellow disk upreared on its tall stalk | G |
| The evening primrose comrade of the stars | H |
| It seems as though the garden which you love | I |
| Were like a swinging censer its incense | J |
| Floating before us as a reverent act | K |
| To sanctify and bless our night of love | I |
| Tell me once more you love me that 't is you | L |
| Yes really you I touch so with my hand | M |
| And tell me it is by your own free will | N |
| That you are here and that you like to be | B |
| Just here with me under this sailing pine | O |
| I need to hear it often for my heart | P |
| Doubts naturally and finds it hard to trust | C |
| Ah Dearest you are good to love me so | Q |
| And yet I would not have it goodness rather | R |
| Excess of selfishness in you to need | S |
| Me through and through as flowers need the sun | T |
| I wonder can it really be that you | L |
| And I are here alone and that the night | A |
| Is full of hours and all the world asleep | U |
| And none can call to you to come away | E |
| For you have given all yourself to me | B |
| Making me gentle by your willingness | V |
| Has your life too been waiting for this time | W |
| Not only mine the sharpness of this joy | X |
| Dear Heart I love you worship you as though | Q |
| I were a priest before a holy shrine | O |
| I'm glad that you are beautiful although | Q |
| Were you not lovely still I needs must love | I |
| But you are all things it must have been so | Q |
| For otherwise it were not you Come close | Y |
| When you are in the circle of my arm | Z |
| Faith grows a mountain and I take my stand | M |
| Upon its utmost top Yes yes once more | A2 |
| Kiss me and let me feel you very near | B2 |
| Wanting me wholly even as I want you | L |
| Have years behind been dark Will those to come | C2 |
| Bring unguessed sorrows into our two lives | D2 |
| What does it matter we have had to night | A |
| To night will make us strong for we believe | E2 |
| Each in the other this is a sacrament | F2 |
| Beloved is it true | L |
