Rhyme Scheme: A BBCCDDEEFFEE G EHEEEHBFBBB| NIGHT | A |
| - | |
| Ah listen through the music from the shore | B |
| The 'melancholy long withdrawing roar' | B |
| Beneath the Minster and the windy caves | C |
| The wide North Ocean marshalling his waves | C |
| Even so forlorn in worlds beyond our ken | D |
| May sigh the seas that are not heard of men | D |
| Even so forlorn prophetic of man's fate | E |
| Sounded the cold sea wave disconsolate | E |
| When none but God might hear the boding tone | F |
| As God shall hear the long lament alone | F |
| When all is done when all the tale is told | E |
| And the gray sea wave echoes as of old | E |

| MORNING | G |
| - | |
| This was the burden of the Night | E |
| The saying of the sea | H |
| But lo the hours have brought the light | E |
| The laughter of the waves the flight | E |
| Of dipping sea birds foamy white | E |
| That are so glad to be | H |
| 'Forget ' the happy creatures cry | B |
| 'Forget Night's monotone | F |
| With us be glad in sea and sky | B |
| The days are thine the days that fly | B |
| The days God gives to know him by | B |
| And not the Night alone ' | - |
