| - | |
| - | |
| Came the relief What sentry ho | B |
| How passed the night through thy long waking | C |
| Cold cheerless dark as may befit | D |
| The hour before the dawn is breaking | C |
| - | |
| No sight no sound No nothing save | E |
| The plover from the marshes calling | C |
| And in yon western sky about | F |
| An hour ago a star was falling | C |
| - | |
| A star There's nothing strange in that | G |
| No nothing but above the thicket | D |
| Somehow it seemed to me that God | H |
| Somewhere had just relieved a picket | D |
