Rhyme Scheme: AABBBCCCAA AADEFFGHGIIHAA AAAJJJKLLFKMMNNFAAII| Night the horrible wizard Night | A |
| The dumb and terrible Night | A |
| Hath drawn his circle of magic round | B |
| Over the sky and over the ground | B |
| Without a sound | B |
| Ah me what woeful phantoms rise | C |
| With ice cold hands and pitiless eyes | C |
| As stars grow out of the summer skies | C |
| Tangible things to mortal sight | A |
| Under the hands of the wizard Night | A |
| - | |
| Night the mystical prophet Night | A |
| The haunted and awful Night | A |
| With the trail of his garment's shadowy fall | D |
| Soundless and black as a funeral pall | E |
| Now enters his dread laboratory | F |
| A wan and faint and wavering glory | F |
| Shines from a veiled lamp somewhere hidden | G |
| Like a lily in a grave | H |
| And things unholy and things forbidden | G |
| Hands that have long been the earth worm's prey | I |
| And shrouded faces out of the clay | I |
| Rise and fill the enchanted cave | H |
| With a pale and deathly light | A |
| The haunted and awful Night | A |
| - | |
| Night the abhorred magician Night | A |
| The black astrologer Night | A |
| Night is the world I shiver with fright | A |
| The air is full of evil things | J |
| The coil and glitter of snaky rings | J |
| And the tremor of vast invisible wings | J |
| That are not heard but felt | K |
| They touch my hair my hand my cheek | L |
| They mope and mouth but they never speak | L |
| To utter their awful history | F |
| Oh when will the darkness break and melt | K |
| Like blocks of ice on a golden reef | M |
| And little by little as leaf by leaf | M |
| In light and color and form increased | N |
| The rose of morning blooms in the east | N |
| The old yet ever new mystery | F |
| And I fall on my knees to worship the light | A |
| That casts out the evil demon of Night | A |
| And hallows with blossoms like prayers the way | I |
| Of another new day | I |
