Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHBH IJBJ| Somewhere on this earthly planet | A |
| In the dust of flowers to be | B |
| In the dewdrop in the sunshine | C |
| Sleeps a solemn day for me | B |
| - | |
| At this wakeful hour of midnight | D |
| I behold it dawn in mist | E |
| And I hear a sound of sobbing | F |
| Through the darkness hist oh hist | E |
| - | |
| In a dim and murky chamber | G |
| I am breathing life away | H |
| Some one draws a curtain softly | B |
| And I watch the broadening day | H |
| - | |
| As it purples in the zenith | I |
| As it brightens on the lawn | J |
| There's a hush of death about me | B |
| And a whisper He is gone | J |
