Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGHE IHIHJEJE BKBKELEL| Bland as the morning breath of June | A |
| The southwest breezes play | B |
| And through its haze the winter noon | A |
| Seems warm as summer's day | B |

| Has dropped his icy spear | D |
| Again the mossy earth looks forth | C |
| Again the streams gush clear | D |

| 'Bear up O Mother Nature ' cry | G |
| Bird breeze and streamlet free | H |
| 'Our winter voices prophesy | E |
| Of summer days to thee ' | - |

| So in those winters of the soul | I |
| By bitter blasts and drear | H |
| O'erswept from Memory's frozen pole | I |
| Will sunny days appear | H |
| Reviving Hope and Faith they show | J |
| The soul its living powers | E |
| And how beneath the winter's snow | J |
| Lie germs of summer flowers | E |
| - | |
| The Night is mother of the Day | B |
| The Winter of the Spring | K |
| And ever upon old Decay | B |
| The greenest mosses cling | K |
| Behind the cloud the starlight lurks | E |
| Through showers the sunbeams fall | L |
| For God who loveth all His works | E |
| Has left His hope with all | L |
