Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD DEDEAFAF GBGBAHAH IJIJAKAK ALALMNON APAPADAD| When the shades of eve descending | A |
| Throw o'er cloistered courts their gloom | B |
| Dimly with the twilight blending | A |
| Memories long forgotten loom | B |
| From the bright fire's falling embers | C |
| Faces smile that smiled of yore | D |
| Till my heart again remembers | C |
| Hopes and thoughts that live no more | D |
| - | |
| Then again does manhood's vigour | D |
| Nerve my arm with iron strength | E |
| As of old when trained with rigour | D |
| We beat Oxford by a length | E |
| Once again the willow wielding | A |
| Do I urge the flying ball | F |
| Till lost ball the men who're fielding | A |
| Hot and weary faintly call | F |
| - | |
| Then I think of hours of study | G |
| Study silent as the tomb | B |
| Till the rays of morning ruddy | G |
| Shone within my lonely room | B |
| Once again my heart is burning | A |
| With ambition's restless glow | H |
| And long hidden founts of learning | A |
| O'er my thirsty spirit flow | H |
| - | |
| Soon fresh scenes my fancy people | I |
| For I see a wooded hill | J |
| See above the well known steeple | I |
| Hear below the well known rill | J |
| Joyous sounds each gale is bringing | A |
| Wafted on its fragrant breath | K |
| Hark I hear young voices singing | A |
| Voices silent now in death | K |
| - | |
| Brothers sisters loved and loving | A |
| Hold me in their fond embrace | L |
| Half forgiving half reproving | A |
| I can see my Mother's face | L |
| Mid a night of raven tresses | M |
| Through the gloom two sad eyes shine | N |
| And my hand a soft hand presses | O |
| And a heart beats close to mine | N |
| - | |
| In mine ears a voice is ringing | A |
| Sweeter far than earthly strain | P |
| Heavenly consolation bringing | A |
| From the land that knows no pain | P |
| And when slowly from me stealing | A |
| Fades that vision into air | D |
| Every pulse beats with the feeling | A |
| That a Spirit loved was there | D |
