Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDDEFGGH IIJJKK LLMI NNOPJQR| Who is he that swiftly comes | A |
| In the lovely silence of night | B |
| I know him by his sparkling plumes | C |
| That shine in the clear moonlight | B |
| By the scarlet wings of his soaring bird | D |
| And the ceaseless music round him heard | D |
| I know him by his arrows | E |
| And by his blossom'd bow | F |
| By the forms of radiant beauty that bear | G |
| And softly wave in the perfumed air | G |
| His standard to and fro | H |
| - | |
| Often and long on the summer sea | I |
| In the moonlight have I watched for thee | I |
| When the glittering beam was downward thrown | J |
| And each wave with a crest of diamond shone | J |
| I have seen the thin clouds sail along | K |
| And I raised to welcome thee many a song | K |
| - | |
| - | |
| But long have I lingered and watch'd in vain | L |
| To see the light of the starry train | L |
| Sweep in beauty across the sky | M |
| To tones of heavenly harmony | I |
| - | |
| - | |
| Now I behold thee now 'tis the hour | N |
| Yes thou art come in thy splendour and power | N |
| But no the vision is passing on | O |
| The bright forms vanish one by one | P |
| On the desolate shore I am left alone | J |
| Yet stay oh stay like lightning they move | Q |
| To well by thy fleetness I know thou art Love | R |
