Rhyme Scheme: ABAB ACAC ADAD EFEF EGEG EAEA| I heard the trailing garments of the Night | A |
| Sweep through her marble halls | B |
| I saw her sable skirts all fringed with light | A |
| From the celestial walls | B |
| - | |
| I felt her presence by its spell of might | A |
| Stoop o'er me from above | C |
| The calm majestic presence of the Night | A |
| As of the one I love | C |
| - | |
| I heard the sounds of sorrow and delight | A |
| The manifold soft chimes | D |
| That fill the haunted chambers of the Night | A |
| Like some old poet's rhymes | D |
| - | |
| From the cool cisterns of the midnight air | E |
| My spirit drank repose | F |
| The fountain of perpetual peace flows there | E |
| From those deep cisterns flows | F |
| - | |
| O holy Night from thee I learn to bear | E |
| What man has borne before | G |
| Thou layest thy finger on the lips of Care | E |
| And thy complain no more | G |
| - | |
| Peace Peace Orestes like I breathe this prayer | E |
| Descend with broad winged flight | A |
| The welcome the thrice prayed for the most fair | E |
| The best beloved Night | A |
