Rhyme Scheme: ABACDD EFEFGEGE HIJIKKLL MNONPQRQ| Twilight is spacious near things in it seem far | A |
| And distant things seem near | B |
| Now in the green west hangs a yellow star | A |
| And now across old waters you may hear | C |
| The profound gloom of bells among still trees | D |
| Like a rolling of huge boulders beneath seas | D |
| - | |
| Silent as though in evening contemplation | E |
| Weaves the bat under the gathering stars | F |
| Silent as dew we seek new incarnation | E |
| Meditate new avatars | F |
| In a clear dusk like this | G |
| Mary climbed up the hill to seek her son | E |
| To lower him down from the cross and kiss | G |
| The mauve wounds every one | E |
| - | |
| Men with wings | H |
| In the dusk walked softly after her | I |
| She did not see them but may have felt | J |
| The winnowed air around her stir | I |
| She did not see them but may have known | K |
| Why her son's body was light as a little stone | K |
| She may have guessed that other hands were there | L |
| Moving the watchful air | L |
| - | |
| Now unless persuaded by searching music | M |
| Which suddenly opens the portals of the mind | N |
| We guess no angels | O |
| And are contented to be blind | N |
| Let us blow silver horns in the twilight | P |
| And lift our hearts to the yellow star in the green | Q |
| To find perhaps if while the dew is rising | R |
| Clear things may not be seen | Q |
