Rhyme Scheme: AABCCD EFGHHG IIJKKJ LLMNNM MMOJJO PPQRRQ MMLSSL| DAWN opes her pensive eyes | A |
| In the yet starry skies | A |
| A roseate blush upon her cheek and brows | B |
| Her purple mantle still | C |
| Lies on the sky kissed hill | C |
| And a blue solemn shade thereon it throws | D |
| - | |
| The earth lies hushed and calm | E |
| No chant of praise no psalm | F |
| Riseth to greet the rose crowned queen of day | G |
| Each blade of grass each leaf | H |
| Stands out in sharp relief | H |
| Against the rayless blue and silver gray | G |
| - | |
| All nature seems to wait | I |
| For some new deed of Fate | I |
| The silence is a sacred reverent prayer | J |
| When hark from some sweet throat | K |
| One thrilling quivering note | K |
| Fills with its tremulous music all the air | J |
| - | |
| Then from the dewy grass | L |
| A tiny form doth pass | L |
| A little soul all music and all wings | M |
| All nature's voice is heard | N |
| Embodied in this bird | N |
| That darteth up and rising ever sings | M |
| - | |
| It mounteth still and sings | M |
| What soul yearns not for wings | M |
| To follow after burst its prison bars | O |
| And learn the secret there | J |
| In those clear realms of air | J |
| The secret of the rainbow and the stars | O |
| - | |
| To rush as swift as light | P |
| Within those regions bright | P |
| Of throbbing scintillant intensest blue | Q |
| The air all breathless cleave | R |
| And far below to leave | R |
| Regrets and tears the raindrop and the dew | Q |
| - | |
| Ah caged 'mongst meaner things | M |
| The soul can use no wings | M |
| And beats against the bars it cannot pass | L |
| But it might humbly turn | S |
| Essaying first to learn | S |
| The secret of the flowers and the grass | L |
