Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD CCEE FFBB GHII| In broad daylight and at noon | A |
| Yesterday I saw the moon | A |
| Sailing high but faint and white | B |
| As a schoolboy's paper kite | B |

| In broad daylight yesterday | C |
| I read a poet's mystic lay | C |
| And it seemed to me at most | D |
| As a phantom or a ghost | D |
| - | |
| But at length the feverish day | C |
| Like a passion died away | C |
| And the night serene and still | E |
| Fell on village vale and hill | E |
| - | |
| Then the moon in all her pride | F |
| Like a spirit glorified | F |
| Filled and overflowed the night | B |
| With revelations of her light | B |
| - | |
| And the Poet's song again | G |
| Passed like music through my brain | H |
| Night interpreted to me | I |
| All its grace and mystery | I |
