Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH IDJK LMLM NGNG OPOP QRQR NSNT UVUV| On the far horizon there | A |
| Heaps of cloudy darkness rest | B |
| Though the wind is in the air | A |
| There is stupor east and west | B |
| - | |
| For the sky no change is making | C |
| Scarce we know it from the plain | D |
| Droop its eyelids never waking | C |
| Blinded by the misty rain | D |
| - | |
| Save on high one little spot | E |
| Round the baffled moon a space | F |
| Where the tumult ceaseth not | E |
| Wildly goes the midnight race | F |
| - | |
| And a joy doth rise in me | G |
| Upward gazing on the sight | H |
| When I think that others see | G |
| In yon clouds a like delight | H |
| - | |
| How perchance an aged man | I |
| Struggling with the wind and rain | D |
| In the moonlight cold and wan | J |
| Feels his heart grow young again | K |
| - | |
| As the cloudy rack goes by | L |
| How the life blood mantles up | M |
| Till the fountain deep and dry | L |
| Yields once more a sparkling cup | M |
| - | |
| Or upon the gazing child | N |
| Cometh down a thought of glory | G |
| Which will keep him undefiled | N |
| Till his head is old and hoary | G |
| - | |
| For it may be he hath woke | O |
| And hath raised his fair young form | P |
| Strangely on his eyes have broke | O |
| All the splendours of the storm | P |
| - | |
| And his young soul forth doth leap | Q |
| With the storm clouds in the moon | R |
| And his heart the light will keep | Q |
| Though the vision passeth soon | R |
| - | |
| Thus a joy hath often laughed | N |
| On my soul from other skies | S |
| Bearing on its wings a draught | N |
| From the wells of Paradise | T |
| - | |
| For that not to me alone | U |
| Comes a splendour out of fear | V |
| Where the light of heaven hath shone | U |
| There is glory far and near | V |
