Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFG FHIHABDB JKLKHEM MNA| The day has been wild and stormy | A |
| And full of the wind's unrest | B |
| And I sat down alone by the window | C |
| While the sunset dyed the West | B |
| And the holy rush of twilight | D |
| As the day went over the hill | E |
| Like the voice of a spirit seemed speaking | F |
| And saying 'Peace be still ' | G |
| - | |
| Then I thought with sudden longing | F |
| That it might be so with my woes | H |
| That the life so wild and restless | I |
| When it reached the eve's repose | H |
| Might glow with a sudden glory | A |
| And be crowned with peace and rest | B |
| And the holy calm of twilight | D |
| Might come to my troubled breast | B |
| - | |
| All of the pain and passion | J |
| That trouble my life's long day | K |
| As the winds go down at sunset | L |
| May suddenly pass away | K |
| And the wild and turbulent billows | H |
| That surge in my heart at will | E |
| Shall be hushed into calm and silence | M |
| By the whisper 'Peace be still ' | - |
| And my soul grew full of patience | M |
| And I said 'I can bear it all | N |
| Though the day be long and stormy | A |
| The twilight at last must fall ' | - |
