Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEDFGFGHIJIKLKL MNINFOFOPQEQ| How strange at night to wake | A |
| And watch while others sleep | B |
| Till sight and hearing ache | A |
| For objects that may keep | B |
| The awful inner sense | C |
| Unroused lest it should mark | D |
| The life that haunts the emptiness | E |
| And horror of the dark | D |
| How strange at night the bay | F |
| Of dogs how wild the note | G |
| Of cocks that scream for day | F |
| In homesteads far remote | G |
| How strange and wild to hear | H |
| The old and crumbling tower | I |
| Amid the darkness suddenly | J |
| Take tongue and speak the hour | I |
| Albeit the love sick brain | K |
| Affects the dreary moon | L |
| Ill things alone refrain | K |
| From life's nocturnal swoon | L |
| Men melancholy mad | M |
| Beasts ravenous and sly | N |
| The robber and the murderer | I |
| Remorse with lidless eye | N |
| The nightingale is gay | F |
| For she can vanquish night | O |
| Dreaming she sings of day | F |
| Notes that make darkness bright | O |
| But when the refluent gloom | P |
| Saddens the gaps of song | Q |
| Men charge on her the dolefulness | E |
| And call her crazed with wrong | Q |
