Rhyme Scheme: ABCBAB DEDEDE FGFGFG HIHIHI JKJKJK| The tropic day's redundant charms | A |
| Cool twilight soothes away | B |
| The sun slips down behind the palms | C |
| And leaves the landscape grey | B |
| I want to take you in my arms | A |
| And kiss your lips away | B |
| - | |
| I wake with sunshine in my eyes | D |
| And find the morning blue | E |
| A night of dreams behind me lies | D |
| And all were dreams of you | E |
| Ah how I wish the while I rise | D |
| That what I dream were true | E |
| - | |
| The weary day's laborious pace | F |
| I hasten and beguile | G |
| By fancies which I backwards trace | F |
| To things I loved erstwhile | G |
| The weary sweetness of your face | F |
| Your faint illusive smile | G |
| - | |
| The silken softness of your hair | H |
| Where faint bronze shadows are | I |
| Your strangely slight and youthful air | H |
| No passions seem to mar | I |
| Oh why since Fate has made you fair | H |
| Must Fortune keep you far | I |
| - | |
| Thus spent the day so long and bright | J |
| Less hot and brilliant seems | K |
| Till in a final flare of light | J |
| The sun withdraws his beams | K |
| Then in the coolness of the night | J |
| I meet you in my dreams | K |
