Rhyme Scheme: ABBBCDCD EBEBEFEF CGCGGHGH IJIJEGEG CECEKLKM| The tremulous morning is breaking | A |
| Against the white waste of the sky | B |
| And hundreds of birds are awaking | B |
| In tamarisk bushes hard by | B |
| I waiting alone in the station | C |
| Can hear in the distance grey blue | D |
| The sound of that iron desolation | C |
| The train that will bear me from you | D |
| - | |
| 'T will carry me under your casement | E |
| You'll feel in your dreams as you lie | B |
| The quiver from gable to basement | E |
| The rush of my train sweeping by | B |
| And I shall look out as I pass it | E |
| Your dear unforgettable door | F |
| 'T was ours till last night but alas it | E |
| Will never be mine any more | F |
| - | |
| Through twilight blue grey and uncertain | C |
| Where frost leaves the window pane free | G |
| I'll look at the tinsel edged curtain | C |
| That hid so much pleasure for me | G |
| I go to my long undone duty | G |
| Alone in the chill and the gloom | H |
| My eyes are still full of the beauty | G |
| I leave in your rose scented room | H |
| - | |
| Lie still in your dreams for your tresses | I |
| Are free of my lingering kiss | J |
| I keep you awake with caresses | I |
| No longer be happy in this | J |
| From passion you told me you hated | E |
| You're now and for ever set free | G |
| I pass in my train sorrow weighted | E |
| Your house that was Heaven to me | G |
| - | |
| You won't find a trace when you waken | C |
| Of me or my love of the past | E |
| Rise up and rejoice I have taken | C |
| My longed for departure at last | E |
| My fervent and useless persistence | K |
| You never need suffer again | L |
| Nor even perceive in the distance | K |
| The smoke of my vanishing train | M |
