Rhyme Scheme: AABBCC DDEEFF GGHHCC IIAACC| Isn't it fine when the day is done | A |
| And the petty battles are lost or won | A |
| When the gold is made and the ink is dried | B |
| To quit the struggle and turn aside | B |
| To spend an hour with your boy in play | C |
| And let him race all of your cares away | C |
| - | |
| Isn't it fine when the day's gone well | D |
| When you have glorious tales to tell | D |
| And your heart is light and your head is high | E |
| For nothing has happened to make you sigh | E |
| To hurry homewards to share the joy | F |
| That your work has won with a little boy | F |
| - | |
| Isn't it fine whether good or bad | G |
| Has come to the hopes and the plans you had | G |
| And the day is over to find him there | H |
| Thinking you splendid and just and fair | H |
| Ready to chase all your griefs away | C |
| And soothe your soul with an hour of play | C |
| - | |
| Oh whether the day's been long or brief | I |
| Whether it's brought to me joy or grief | I |
| Whether I've failed or whether I've won | A |
| It shall matter not when the work is done | A |
| I shall count it fine if I end each day | C |
| With a little boy in an hour of play | C |
