Rhyme Scheme: ABBCDAD EBBEFEF DGGDHDH AIICHAH| OUT of the day you have taken what | A |
| Crown of laurels and wreath of bay | B |
| Smiles or frowns Did you bring away | B |
| Shame that stings like an iron hot | C |
| Or did you close with a record fair | D |
| Out of the day you have taken what | A |
| Peace of mind or a night of care | D |
| - | |
| Sum it all up as you close the page | E |
| What have you written throughout the day | B |
| Joy or sorrow Be honest say | B |
| Evil wrought in an hour of rage | E |
| Wrongs that loom through the dead of night | F |
| Sum it all up as you close the page | E |
| Fair or foul are the things you write | F |
| - | |
| Over your record muse with care | D |
| And note the wrong that is written down | G |
| Why this temper and why this frown | G |
| You were the one to put them there | D |
| You were the one to stoop to sin | H |
| Over your record muse with care | D |
| Yours is the fault if you failed to win | H |
| - | |
| Out of the day you have taken what | A |
| Joy or sorrow Then let me ask | I |
| What brought you to your daily task | I |
| A cheerful mind with your woes forgot | C |
| Or an air of gloom with a downcast chin | H |
| Out of the day you have taken what | A |
| Merely the fruits of what you put in | H |
