Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDDC EFGHIJKI KLKLMNNM OPOPQKKQ| It is a year dear one since you afar | A |
| Went out beyond my yearning mortal sight | B |
| A wondrous year perchance in many a star | A |
| You have sojourned or basked within the light | B |
| Of mightier suns it may be you have trod | C |
| The glittering pathways of the Pleiades | D |
| And through the Milky Way's white mysteries | D |
| Have walked at will fire shod | C |
| - | |
| You may have gazed in the immortal eyes | E |
| Of prophets and of martyrs talked with seers | F |
| Learned in all the lore of Paradise | G |
| The infinite wisdom of eternal years | H |
| To you the Sons of Morning may have sung | I |
| The impassioned strophes of their matin hymn | J |
| For you the choirs of the seraphim | K |
| Their harpings wild out flung | I |
| - | |
| But still I think at eve you come to me | K |
| For old delightsome speech of eye and lip | L |
| Deeming our mutual converse thus to be | K |
| Fairer than archangelic comradeship | L |
| Dearer our close communings fondly given | M |
| Than all the rainbow dreams a spirit knows | N |
| Sweeter my gathered violets than the rose | N |
| Upon the hills of heaven | M |
| - | |
| Can any exquisite unearthly morn | O |
| Silverly breaking o'er a starry plain | P |
| Give to your soul the poignant pleasure born | O |
| Of virgin moon and sunset's lustrous stain | P |
| When we together watch them Oh apart | Q |
| A hundred universes you may roam | K |
| But still I know I know your only home | K |
| Is here within my heart | Q |
