Rhyme Scheme: ABABCACA DDDDBBEB FGFGHIH| 'I AM Joy ' she said but her voice was low | A |
| Too low for laughter | B |

| Through the fever and stir of life's hot glee | D |
| That waits never for any | D |
| Through the silence of rest when dreams are o'er | B |
| And stillness is sweeter than hope's best pleasure | B |
| Through the peace when nought is to garner more | E |
| Of Love's plenished treasure | B |

| More kind than lovers | G |
| Then she said 'After blight the boughs are bare | F |
| Yet the strong tree recovers | G |
| And anew hast thou Life Love Joy at call | H |
| Unclasp my hand ' And I clasped denying | I |
| 'Thou art best more strong more true than all | H |
| And after thee dying ' | - |
