Rhyme Scheme: AABBA CDEFC GGHHG| Friend of a wayward hour you came | A |
| Like some good ghost and went the same | A |
| And I within the haunted place | B |
| Sit smiling on your vanished face | B |
| And talking with your name | A |
| - | |
| But thrice the pressure of your hand | C |
| First hail congratulations and | D |
| Your last God bless you as the train | E |
| That brought you snatched you back again | F |
| Into the unknown land | C |

| God bless me Why your very prayer | G |
| Was answered ere you asked it there | G |
| I know for when you came to lend | H |
| Me your kind hand and call me friend | H |
| God blessed me unaware | G |
