| Now in the moonrise from a wintry sky | A |
| The frost has come to charm with elfin might | B |
| This quiet room to draw with symbols bright | B |
| Faces and forms in fairest charactery | C |

| With these alone he draws in magic lines | E |
| Faces that people dreams and chiefly one | F |
| Happy and brilliant as the northern sun | F |
| And by its darling side there gleams and shines | E |
| One of God's children with the laughing signs | E |
| Of dimples and glad accents and sweet cries | E |
| That angels are and heaven's memories | E |
| The wizard thus my soul's estate divines | E |

| All it holds dear he sets alone apart | G |
| Etches the past in likeness of dim groves | E |
| Silvered in quiet rime and with rare art | G |
| In crystal spoils and fairy treasure troves | E |
| He draws the picture of the happy heart | G |
| By those who love it most whom most it loves | E |
