Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFG HIJI KLJL JJMJ| All my life long I heard the step | A |
| Of some one I would know | B |
| Break softly in upon my days | C |
| And lightly come and go | B |
| - | |
| A foot so brisk I said must bear | D |
| A heart that's clean and clear | E |
| If that companion blithe would come | F |
| I should be happy here | G |
| - | |
| But though I waited long and well | H |
| He never came at all | I |
| I grew aweary of the void | J |
| Even of the light foot fall | I |
| - | |
| From loneliness to loneliness | K |
| I felt my spirit grope | L |
| At last I knew the uttermost | J |
| The loneliness of hope | L |
| - | |
| And just upon the border land | J |
| Where flesh and spirit part | J |
| I knew the secret foot fall was | M |
| The beating of my heart | J |
