Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDED FGHGIJIJ KJKDLMNM OPOQRBRB STSTUBUB LVLVWDWD| If thou be in a lonely place | A |
| If one hour's calm be thine | B |
| As Evening bends her placid face | A |
| O'er this sweet day's decline | B |
| If all the earth and all the heaven | C |
| Now look serene to thee | D |
| As o'er them shuts the summer even | E |
| One moment think of me | D |
| - | |
| Pause in the lane returning home | F |
| 'Tis dusk it will be still | G |
| Pause near the elm a sacred gloom | H |
| Its breezeless boughs will fill | G |
| Look at that soft and golden light | I |
| High in the unclouded sky | J |
| Watch the last bird's belated flight | I |
| As it flits silent by | J |
| - | |
| Hark for a sound upon the wind | K |
| A step a voice a sigh | J |
| If all be still then yield thy mind | K |
| Unchecked to memory | D |
| If thy love were like mine how blest | L |
| That twilight hour would seem | M |
| When back from the regretted Past | N |
| Returned our early dream | M |
| - | |
| If thy love were like mine how wild | O |
| Thy longings even to pain | P |
| For sunset soft and moonlight mild | O |
| To bring that hour again | Q |
| But oft when in thine arms I lay | R |
| I've seen thy dark eyes shine | B |
| And deeply felt their changeful ray | R |
| Spoke other love than mine | B |
| - | |
| My love is almost anguish now | S |
| It beats so strong and true | T |
| 'Twere rapture could I deem that thou | S |
| Such anguish ever knew | T |
| I have been but thy transient flower | U |
| Thou wert my god divine | B |
| Till checked by death's congealing power | U |
| This heart must throb for thine | B |
| - | |
| And well my dying hour were blest | L |
| If life's expiring breath | V |
| Should pass as thy lips gently prest | L |
| My forehead cold in death | V |
| And sound my sleep would be and sweet | W |
| Beneath the churchyard tree | D |
| If sometimes in thy heart should beat | W |
| One pulse still true to me | D |
