Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHGH IJKJ LMNO ABPB| EVERY day has its dawn | A |
| Its soft and silent eve | B |
| Its noontide hours of bliss or bale | C |
| Why should we grieve | B |
| - | |
| Why do we heap huge mounds of years | D |
| Before us and behind | E |
| And scorn the little days that pass | F |
| Like angels on the wind | E |
| - | |
| Each turning round a small sweet face | G |
| As beautiful as near | H |
| Because it is so small a face | G |
| We will not see it clear | H |
| - | |
| We will not clasp it as it flies | I |
| And kiss its lips and brow | J |
| We will not bathe our wearied souls | K |
| In its delicious Now | J |
| - | |
| And so it turns from us and goes | L |
| Away in sad disdain | M |
| Though we would give our lives for it | N |
| It never comes again | O |
| - | |
| Yet every day has its dawn | A |
| Its noontide and its eve | B |
| Live while we live giving God thanks | P |
| He will not let us grieve | B |
