Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDDC EEFFGHIG JJKKLMMN| WHEN all the weary flowers | A |
| Worn out with sunlit hours | A |
| Droop o'er the garden beds | B |

| The dewy dusk on quiet wings comes stealing | C |
| And as the night descends | D |
| The shadows troop like friends | D |
| To bring them healing | C |

| - | |
| So weary of the light | E |
| Of life too full and bright | E |
| We long for night to fall | F |
| To wrap us from it all | F |
| Then death on dewy wings draws near and holds us | G |
| And like a kind friend come | H |
| To children far from home | I |
| With love enfolds us | G |
| - | |
| - | |
| But when the night is done | J |
| Fresh to the morning sun | J |
| Their little faces yet | K |
| With night's sweet dewdrops wet | K |
| The flowers awake to the new day's new graces | L |
| And we ah shall we too | M |
| Turn to the daydawn new | M |
| Our tear wet faces | N |
