Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDE FGHGIJIJ KLALMNNN OIPIQPQP| Alone alone in the twilight gray | A |
| In the shadows so dark and dim | B |
| I watch through all of the weary hours | C |
| And I wait with my heart for him | B |
| For him who'll come when he comes at all | D |
| As my king and warrior bold | E |
| Whose form so tall is my fortress wall | D |
| And whose heart is a chunk of gold | E |
| - | |
| Again again do I dream the dreams | F |
| All the dreams that my young heart knew | G |
| And through my soul do the yearnings thrill | H |
| As of old they were wont to do | G |
| I know in truth when his face I see | I |
| I shall fall at his shining feet | J |
| Where'er it be and whoever is he | I |
| In the light of his glances sweet | J |
| - | |
| I wait in vain for the sounds that rise | K |
| From the tread of his horse's hoof | L |
| And still the mists hide his form away | A |
| And forever he stays aloof | L |
| His shining face and his eyes so bright | M |
| In the shades of the distance hide | N |
| And out of the night with the stars bedight | N |
| He hath never approached my side | N |
| - | |
| O years O wonderful tide of years | O |
| From the shadows of time set free | I |
| My king my lover my life and bring | P |
| To my heart what is most of me | I |
| Somewhere in pain do his yearnings grope | Q |
| For the joys that my love would bring | P |
| O up the slope of his life long hope | Q |
| Guide the feet of my royal king | P |
