Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCEFGFGHIHIJAJA KKKKAAABAB| In the dark lonely night | A |
| When sleep and silence keep their watch o'er men | B |
| False love in thy despite | A |
| I will be with thee then | B |
| When in the world of dreams thy spirit strays | C |
| Seeking in vain the peace it finds not here | D |
| Thou shalt be led back to thine early days | C |
| Of life and love and I will meet thee there | E |
| I'll come to thee with the bright sunny brow | F |
| That was Hope's throne before I met with thee | G |
| And then I'll show thee how 'tis furrowed now | F |
| By the untimely age of misery | G |
| I'll speak to thee in the fond joyous tone | H |
| That wooed thee still with love's impassioned spell | I |
| And then I'll teach thee how I've learnt to moan | H |
| Since last upon thine ear its accents fell | I |
| I'll come to thee in all youth's brightest power | J |
| As on the day thy faith to mine was plighted | A |
| And then I'll tell thee weary hour by hour | J |
| How that spring's early promise has been blighted | A |
| I'll tell thee of the long long dreary years | K |
| That have passed o'er me hopeless objectless | K |
| My loathsome days my nights of burning tears | K |
| My wild despair my utter loneliness | K |
| My heart sick dreams upon my feverish bed | A |
| My fearful longing to be with the dead | A |
| In the dark lonely night | A |
| When sleep and silence keep their watch o'er men | B |
| False love in thy despite | A |
| We two shall meet again | B |
