Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDED FGFGHIHI JKJKLMLL| Say something to me I've waited so long | A |
| Waited and wondered in vain | B |
| Only a sentence would fall like a song | A |
| Over this listening pain | B |
| Over a silence that glowers and frowns | C |
| Even my pencil to night | D |
| Slips in the dews of my sorrow and wounds | E |
| Each tender word that I write | D |
| - | |
| Say something to me if only to tell | F |
| Me you remember the past | G |
| Let the sweet words like the notes of a bell | F |
| Ring out my vigil at last | G |
| O it were better far better than this | H |
| Doubt and distrust in the breast | I |
| For in the wine of a fanciful kiss | H |
| I could taste Heaven and rest | I |
| - | |
| Say something to me I kneel and I plead | J |
| In my wild need for a word | K |
| If my poor heart from this silence were freed | J |
| I could soar up like a bird | K |
| In the glad morning and twitter and sing | L |
| Carol and warble and cry | M |
| Blithe as the lark as he cruises awing | L |
| Over the deeps of the sky | L |
