Rhyme Scheme: ABCCBACDE EDFFGG HIJJHIKKEE LEELMNKKMN OPCOPC| 'Nunc plaudite ' the Student cried | A |
| When he had finished 'now applaud | B |
| As Roman actors used to say | C |
| At the conclusion of a play | C |
| And rose and spread his hands abroad | B |
| And smiling bowed from side to side | A |
| As one who bears the palm away | C |
| And generous was the applause and loud | D |
| But less for him than for the sun | E |
| - | |
| That even as the tale was done | E |
| Burst from its canopy of cloud | D |
| And lit the landscape with the blaze | F |
| Of afternoon on autumn days | F |
| And filled the room with light and made | G |
| The fire of logs a painted shade | G |
| - | |
| A sudden wind from out the west | H |
| Blew all its trumpets loud and shrill | I |
| The windows rattled with the blast | J |
| The oak trees shouted as it passed | J |
| And straight as if by fear possessed | H |
| The cloud encampment on the hill | I |
| Broke up and fluttering flag and tent | K |
| Vanished into the firmament | K |
| And down the valley fled amain | E |
| The rear of the retreating rain | E |
| - | |
| Only far up in the blue sky | L |
| A mass of clouds like drifted snow | E |
| Suffused with a faint Alpine glow | E |
| Was heaped together vast and high | L |
| On which a shattered rainbow hung | M |
| Not rising like the ruined arch | N |
| Of some aerial aqueduct | K |
| But like a roseate garland plucked | K |
| From an Olympian god and flung | M |
| Aside in his triumphal march | N |
| - | |
| Like prisoners from their dungeon gloom | O |
| Like birds escaping from a snare | P |
| Like school boys at the hour of play | C |
| All left at once the pent up room | O |
| And rushed into the open air | P |
| And no more tales were told that day | C |
