Rhyme Scheme: AABCCB DDEFFE GGHIIH JJKLLK EEMNNM| When the storm was proudest | A |
| And the wind was loudest | A |
| I heard the hollow caverns drinking down below | B |
| When the stars were bright | C |
| And the ground was white | C |
| I heard the grasses springing underneath the snow | B |
| - | |
| Many voices spake | D |
| The river to the lake | D |
| And the iron ribbed sky was talking to the sea | E |
| And every starry spark | F |
| Made music with the dark | F |
| And said how bright and beautiful everything must be | E |
| - | |
| When the sun was setting | G |
| All the clouds were getting | G |
| Beautiful and silvery in the rising moon | H |
| Beneath the leafless trees | I |
| Wrangling in the breeze | I |
| I could hardly see them for the leaves of June | H |
| - | |
| When the day had ended | J |
| And the night descended | J |
| I heard the sound of streams that I heard not through the day | K |
| And every peak afar | L |
| Was ready for a star | L |
| And they climbed and rolled around until the morning gray | K |
| - | |
| Then slumber soft and holy | E |
| Came down upon me slowly | E |
| And I went I know not whither and I lived I know not how | M |
| My glory had been banished | N |
| For when I woke it vanished | N |
| But I waited on its coming and I am waiting now | M |
