| Sufficient for the day are the day's evil things | A |

| Labour and longing and despair the long day brings | A |
| Patient till evening men watch the sun go west | C |
| Deferred expected night at last brings sleep and rest | C |

| At last the tranquil Angelus of evening rings | A |
| Night's curtain down for comfort and oblivion | D |

| Sufficient for the day are the day's evil things | A |

| So some time when the last of all our evenings | A |
| Crowneth memorially the last of all our days | E |
| Not loth to take his poppies man goes down and says | F |
| 'Sufficient for the day were the day's evil things ' | - |
