Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFF GHGHII| Her languid pulses thrill with sudden hope | A |
| That will not be forgot nor cast aside | B |
| And life in statelier vistas seems to ope | A |
| Illimitably lofty long and wide | B |
| What doth she know She is subdued and mild | C |
| Quiet and docile as a weaned child | C |

| If grief came in such unimagined wise | D |
| How may joy dawn In what undreamed of hour | E |
| May the light break with splendor of surprise | D |
| Disclosing all the mercy and the power | E |
| A baseless hope yet vivid keen and bright | F |
| As the wild lightning in the starless night | F |

| She knows not whence it came nor where it passed | G |
| But it revealed in one brief flash of flame | H |
| A heaven so high a world so rich and vast | G |
| That full of meek contrition and mute shame | H |
| In patient silence hopefully withdrawn | I |
| She bows her head and bides the certain dawn | I |
