Rhyme Scheme: ABAB BCBC DEDE FGFH IIIIJBJBHH| I have opened the window to warm my hands on the sill | A |
| Where the sunlight soaks in the stone the afternoon | B |
| Is full of dreams my love the boys are all still | A |
| In a wistful dream of Lorna Doone | B |
| - | |
| The clink of the shunting engines is sharp and fine | B |
| Like savage music striking far off and there | C |
| On the great uplifted blue palace lights stir and shine | B |
| Where the glass is domed in the blue soft air | C |
| - | |
| There lies the world my darling full of wonder and wistfulness and strange | D |
| Recognition and greetings of half acquaint things as I greet the cloud | E |
| Of blue palace aloft there among misty indefinite dreams that range | D |
| At the back of my life's horizon where the dreamings of past lives crowd | E |
| - | |
| Over the nearness of Norwood Hill through the mellow veil | F |
| Of the afternoon glows to me the old romance of David and Dora | G |
| With the old sweet soothing tears and laughter that shakes the sail | F |
| Of the ship of the soul over seas where dreamed dreams lure the unoceaned explorer | H |
| - | |
| All the bygone hush d years | I |
| Streaming back where the mist distils | I |
| Into forgetfulness soft sailing waters where fears | I |
| No longer shake where the silk sail fills | I |
| With an unfelt breeze that ebbs over the seas where the storm | J |
| Of living has passed on and on | B |
| Through the coloured iridescence that swims in the warm | J |
| Wake of the tumult now spent and gone | B |
| Drifts my boat wistfully lapsing after | H |
| The mists of vanishing tears and the echo of laughter | H |
