Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH FBFI AJAJ| Across the miles that stretch between | A |
| Through days of gloom or glad sunlight | B |

| He may be near he may be far | C |
| Or near or far I cannot see | D |
| But faithful as the morning star | C |

| While suns shall blaze or stars shall gleam | H |
| And looking in each other's eyes | G |
| Shall hold the past but as a dream | H |

| But round and perfect and complete | F |
| Life like a star shall climb the height | B |
| As we two press with willing feet | F |
| Together toward the Infinite | I |

| And still behind the space between | A |
| As back of dawns the sunbeams play | J |
| There shines the face I have not seen | A |
| Whose smile shall wake my world to Day | J |
