Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKDLMNOPQRS NTUVMWLXXYZA2XB2XZZX XZ| Night is dull and dark | A |
| The clouds rest on the hills | B |
| No star with twinkling beam | C |
| No moon looks from the skies | D |
| I hear the blast in the wood | E |
| But distant and dull I hear it | F |
| The stream of the valley murmurs | G |
| Low is its murmur too | H |
| From the tree at the grave of the dead | I |
| The lonely screech owl groans | J |
| I see a dim form on the plain | K |
| 'Tis a ghost it fades it flies | D |
| Some dead shall pass this way | L |
| From the lowly hut of the hill | M |
| The distant dog is howling | N |
| The stag lies by the mountain well | O |
| The hind is at his side | P |
| She hears the wind in his horns | Q |
| She starts but lies again | R |
| The roe is in the cleft of the rock | S |
| The heath cock's head beneath his wing | N |
| No beast no bird is abroad | T |
| But the owl and the howling fox | U |
| She on the leafless tree | V |
| He on the cloudy hill | M |
| Dark panting trembling sad | W |
| The traveller has lost his way | L |
| Through shrubs through thorns he goes | X |
| Beside the gurgling rills | X |
| He fears the rock and the pool | Y |
| He fears the ghost of the night | Z |
| The old tree groans to the blast | A2 |
| The falling branch resounds | X |
| The wind drives the clung thorn | B2 |
| Along the sighing grass | X |
| He shakes amid the night | Z |
| Dark dusty howling is night | Z |
| Cloudy windy and full of ghosts | X |
| The dead are abroad my friends | X |
| Receive me from the night | Z |
