Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEDE BFBF BGBG BHBH IBIB| Sweet life how lovely to be here | A |
| And feel the soft sea laden breeze | B |
| Strike my flushed face the spruce's fair | C |
| Free limbs to see the lesser trees' | B |
| - | |
| Bare hands to touch the sparrow's cheep | D |
| To heed and watch his nimble flight | E |
| Above the short brown grass asleep | D |
| Love glorious in his friendly might | E |
| - | |
| Music that every heart could bless | B |
| And thoughts of life serene divine | F |
| Beyond my power to express | B |
| Crowd round this lifted heart of mine | F |
| - | |
| But oh to leave this paradise | B |
| For the city's dirty basement room | G |
| Where beauty hidden from the eyes | B |
| A table bed bureau and broom | G |
| - | |
| In corner set two crippled chairs | B |
| All covered up with dust and grim | H |
| With hideousness and scars of years | B |
| And gaslight burning weird and dim | H |
| - | |
| Will welcome me And yet and yet | I |
| This very wind the winter birds | B |
| The glory of the soft sunset | I |
| Come there to me in words | B |
