Rhyme Scheme: ABABAB CBCBCB DBDBDB EBEBEB FGFHFH| The morning tide is fair and bright | A |
| With golden sun up springing | B |
| The cedars glowed in the new born light | A |
| And the bell bird's note was ringing | B |
| While diamonds dropped by dusky Night | A |
| Were yet to the gidyas clinging | B |
| - | |
| The morning waned the sun rose high | C |
| O'erhead until 'twas seeming | B |
| But a dazzling disc and the fiery sky | C |
| Like an opal sea was gleaming | B |
| And languorous flowers of morn gone by | C |
| And coming eve fell dreaming | B |
| - | |
| And now the moon above does creep | D |
| To laugh at red Sol sinking | B |
| While wakening from their sunlit sleep | D |
| A few wan stars are blinking | B |
| And thirsty drooping flowers deep | D |
| Of evening dews are drinking | B |
| - | |
| The birds will soon their carols cease | E |
| And crows are homeward hieing | B |
| The gloaming deepens stars increase | E |
| The weary day is dying | B |
| Its requiem murmurous of peace | E |
| The vesper winds are sighing | B |
| - | |
| This night is near Are you waiting friend | F |
| That Night we're drawing nigh it | G |
| When we to the Restful Land shall wend | F |
| And leave life's feverish riot | H |
| When the gods to each tired soul shall send | F |
| Eternal dreamless quiet | H |
