Rhyme Scheme: AABBC CDDEEFF GG| The night was creeping on the ground | A |
| She crept and did not make a sound | A |
| Until she reached the tree and then | B |
| She covered it and sole again | B |
| Along the grass beside the wall | C |
| - | |
| I heard the rustle of her shawl | C |
| As she threw blackness everywhere | D |
| Upon the sky and ground and air | D |
| And in the room where I was hid | E |
| But no matter what she did | E |
| To everything that was without | F |
| She could not put my candle out | F |
| - | |
| So I stared at the night and she | G |
| Stared back solemnly at me | G |
