Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCEFGFGHH| Night is my sister and how deep in love | A |
| How drowned in love and weedily washed ashore | B |
| There to be fretted by the drag and shove | A |
| At the tide's edge I lie mdash these things and more | B |
| Whose arm alone between me and the sand | C |
| Whose voice alone whose pitiful breath brought near | D |
| Could thaw these nostrils and unlock this hand | C |
| She could advise you should you care to hear | E |
| Small chance however in a storm so black | F |
| A man will leave his friendly fire and snug | G |
| For a drowned woman's sake and bring her back | F |
| To drip and scatter shells upon the rug | G |
| No one but Night with tears on her dark face | H |
| Watches beside me in this windy place | H |
