Rhyme Scheme: ABAAB CDCCD CECC BDBBD FDFGD| The dawn grows red in the eastern sky | A |
| Long so long is the day | B |

| As I watch the night fog creeping by | A |
| And vanish over the bay | B |

| The thrush soars up over green clad hills | C |
| The day is long so long | D |
| Like liquid silver his music spills | C |
| And ever it quivers and runs and trills | C |
| In a glad sweet burst of song | D |
| - | |
| Under my window there blooms a rose | C |
| How long a day can be | E |
| And I lean and whisper what no soul knows | C |
| Of my heart's sorrows and secret woes | C |
| And the red rose sighs 'Ah me ' | - |
| - | |
| A ship sails into the waiting bay | B |
| The day is long alack | D |
| But what would that matter to me I pray | B |
| If the ship that sailed out yesterday | B |
| Should never more come back | D |
| - | |
| The summer sun rides high and clear | F |
| The day is long so long | D |
| How long it must be ere it grows to a year | F |
| How deep the sorrow that finds no tear | G |
| But only a wail of song | D |
