Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGAGA HIJIKALA| I sleep with thee and wake with thee | A |
| And yet thou art not there | B |
| I fill my arms with thoughts of thee | A |
| And press the common air | B |
| Thy eyes are gazing upon mine | C |
| When thou art out of sight | D |
| My lips are always touching thine | C |
| At morning noon and night | D |
| - | |
| I think and speak of other things | E |
| To keep my mind at rest | F |
| But still to thee my memory clings | E |
| Like love in woman's breast | F |
| I hide it from the world's wide eye | G |
| And think and speak contrary | A |
| But soft the wind comes from the sky | G |
| And whispers tales of Mary | A |
| - | |
| The night wind whispers in my ear | H |
| The moons shines in my face | I |
| A burden still of chilling fear | J |
| I find in every place | I |
| The breeze is whispering in the bush | K |
| And the dews fall from the tree | A |
| All sighing on and will not hush | L |
| Some pleasant tales of thee | A |
