Rhyme Scheme: AABCACDADAEFFEGGHH IJKJKLLIMM BDBDNN| A wall | A |
| Gray and tall | A |
| And a sky of gray | B |
| And a twilight cold | C |
| And that is all | A |
| That my eyes behold | C |
| But I know that unseen | D |
| Beyond the wall | A |
| On a lawn of green | D |
| White blossoms fall | A |
| In the waning light | E |
| And beyond the lawn | F |
| Curtains are drawn | F |
| From windows bright | E |
| And within she moves with her gracious hands | G |
| And the heart that loves and that understands | G |
| Waiting to succour poor souls in need | H |
| And to bind with her blessing the hearts that bleed | H |
| - | |
| I know it all though I cannot see | I |
| But the tired out tramp | J |
| Dirty and ill | K |
| In the evening's damp | J |
| In the Spring's clean chill | K |
| Knows not that there | L |
| Is the heart to care | L |
| For such as I and for such as he | I |
| He slouches along and sees alone | M |
| The gray of the sky and the gray of the stone | M |
| - | |
| Lord when my eyes see nothing but grey | B |
| In all Thy world that is now so green | D |
| I will bethink me of this spring day | B |
| And the house of welcome known yet unseen | D |
| The wall that conceals | N |
| And the faith that reveals | N |
