Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFGGHHIIJJ KKLLMMNNOOPPGGQQRROO OO| Her mist of primroses within her breast | A |
| Twilight hath folded up and o'er the west | A |
| Seeking remoter valleys long hath gone | B |
| Not yet hath come her sister of the dawn | B |
| Silence and coolness now the earth enfold | C |
| Jewels of glittering green long mists of gold | C |
| Hazes of nebulous silver veil the height | D |
| And shake in tremors through the shadowy night | D |
| Heard through the stillness as in whispered words | E |
| The wandering God guided wings of birds | E |
| Ruffle the dark The little lives that lie | F |
| Deep hid in grass join in a long drawn sigh | F |
| More softly still and unheard through the blue | G |
| The falling of innumerable dew | G |
| Lifts with grey fingers all the leaves that lay | H |
| Burned in the heat of the consuming day | H |
| The lawns and lakes lie in this night of love | I |
| Admitted to the majesty above | I |
| Earth with the starry company hath part | J |
| The waters hold all heaven within their heart | J |
| And glimmer o'er with wave lips everywhere | K |
| Lifted to meet the angel lips of air | K |
| The many homes of men shine near and far | L |
| Peace laden as the tender evening star | L |
| The late home coming folk anticipate | M |
| Their rest beyond the passing of the gate | M |
| And tread with sleep filled hearts on drowsy feet | N |
| Oh far away and wonderful and sweet | N |
| All this all this But far too many things | O |
| Obscuring as a cloud of seraph wings | O |
| Blinding the seeker for the Lord behind | P |
| I fall away in weariness of mind | P |
| And think how far apart are I and you | G |
| Beloved from those spirit children who | G |
| Felt but one single Being long ago | Q |
| Whispering in gentleness and leaning low | Q |
| Out of its majesty as child to child | R |
| I think upon it all with heart grown wild | R |
| Hearing no voice howe'er my spirit broods | O |
| No whisper from the dense infinitudes | O |
| This world of myriad things whose distance awes | O |
| Ah me how innocent our childhood was | O |
