| Beside her casement oped the maiden sits | E |
| Where the mild evening spirit of the Spring | M |
| Gently between the city's homesteads flits | E |
| To kiss her brows and floats on languid wing | M |
| Vague longings in her breast awakening | M |
| While her heart trembles 'neath those dim deep skies | E |
| As the quick sea that 'neath the globed moon lies | E |
| - | |
| Where her eyes rest the full orbed evening star | F |
| Burns with white flame it beckons shrinks dilates | E |
| She dazzled by that shining world afar | F |
| May not withdraw her gaze breathless she waits | E |
| Some promised joy from Heaven's very gates | E |
| Unto her soul seems proffered When shall be | N |
| The bright fulfilment of that star's decree | N |
| - | |
| Nor glad nor sad is she she doth not know | O |
| That through the city's throng one threads his way | P |
| Thrilled likewise by that planet's mystic glow | O |
| And hastes to seek her What sweet change shall sway | P |
| Her spirit at his coming What new ray | P |
| Upon his shadowy life from her shall fall | Q |
| The silent star burns on and knoweth all | Q |
