Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGH IAFJKKCBCLKCGGMK NKBK| When I returned at sunset | A |
| The serving maid was singing softly | B |

| Tune was so dead I could not understand | E |
| The meaning of midday or of midnight | F |
| But like falling waters falling hissing falling | G |
| Silence seemed an everlasting sound | H |

| I sat in my room | I |
| And watched sunset | A |
| And saw starlight | F |
| I heard the tramp of homing men | J |
| And the last call of the last child | K |
| Then a lone bird twittered | K |
| And suddenly beyond the housetops | C |
| I imagined dew in the country | B |
| In the hay on the buttercups | C |
| The rising moon | L |
| The scent of early night | K |
| The songs the echoes | C |
| Dogs barking | G |
| Day closing | G |
| Gradual slumber | M |
| Sweet rest | K |
| - | |
| When all the lamps were lighted in the town | N |
| I passed into the street ways and I watched | K |
| Wakeful almost happy | B |
| And half the night I wandered in the street | K |
