Rhyme Scheme: ABAAB CDCCD EFEEF AGAAG HIHHI AJAAJ KEKKE| All alone with my heart to night | A |
| I sit and wonder and sigh | B |
| What is she like is she dark or light | A |
| This other woman who has the right | A |
| To love him better than I | B |
| - | |
| We never have spoken her name we two | C |
| There was no need somehow | D |
| But she lives and loves and her heart is true | C |
| From the very first this much I knew | C |
| So why should it hurt me now | D |
| - | |
| I fancy her tall and I think her fair | E |
| Oh fairer than I by half | F |
| With sweet calm eyes and a wealth of hair | E |
| And a heart as perfectly free from care | E |
| As is her silvery laugh | F |
| - | |
| She loves rich jewels that flash in the light | A |
| And revels in costly lace | G |
| And first in the morning and last at night | A |
| She kisses one ring on her finger white | A |
| How came those tears on my face | G |
| - | |
| She has all best things to make life sweet | H |
| Youth and beauty and gold | I |
| And a love that renders it quite complete | H |
| I wonder why from my head to my feet | H |
| I feel so deathly cold | I |
| - | |
| Yet in all the store of her great delight | A |
| And she has so much so much | J |
| She cannot be gladder than I in the bright | A |
| Sweet smile he gave her when he said good night | A |
| And his warm hand's close kind touch | J |
| - | |
| I must put out the light and go to bed | K |
| I wonder would she care | E |
| If she knew when I knelt with low bowed head | K |
| I prayed for her but that I said | K |
| His name the last in my prayer | E |
