Rhyme Scheme: AAA BBB CCC DDD EFF GGG AAA HHH III| O rising Sun so fair and gay | A |
| What are you bringing me I pray | A |
| Of sorrow or of joy to day | A |
| - | |
| You look as if you meant to please | B |
| Reclining in your gorgeous ease | B |
| Behind the bare branched apple trees | B |
| - | |
| The world is rich and bright as though | C |
| The pillows where your head is low | C |
| Had lit the fields of driven snow | C |
| - | |
| The hoar frost on the window turns | D |
| Into a wood of giant ferns | D |
| Where some great conflagration burns | D |
| - | |
| And all my children comes again | E |
| As lightsome and as free from stain | F |
| As those frost pictures on the pane | F |
| - | |
| I would that I could mount on high | G |
| And meet you Sun that you and I | G |
| Had to ourselves the whole wide sky | G |
| - | |
| But here my poor soul has to stay | A |
| So tell me rising Sun I pray | A |
| What are you bringing me to day | A |
| - | |
| What shall this busy brain have thought | H |
| What shall these hands and feet have wrought | H |
| What sorrows shall the hours have brought | H |
| - | |
| Before thy brilliant course is run | I |
| Before this new born day is done | I |
| Before you set O rising Sun | I |
