Rhyme Scheme: AABCCBDDDEE FFGHHGIIIJJ KKLMMLBBBNO| Lo it is dark | A |
| Save for the crystal spark | A |
| Of a virgin star o'er the purpling lea | B |
| Or the fine keen silvery grace of a young | C |
| Moon that is hung | C |
| O'er the priest like firs by the sea | B |
| Lo it is still | D |
| Save for the wind of the hill | D |
| And the luring primeval sounds that fill | D |
| The moist and scented air | E |
| 'Tis the truce o' night away with unrest and care | E |
| - | |
| Now we may forget | F |
| Love's fever and hate's fret | F |
| Forget to morrow and yesterday | G |
| And the hopes we buried in musky gloom | H |
| Will come out of their tomb | H |
| Warm and poignant and gay | G |
| We may wander wide | I |
| With only a wish for a guide | I |
| By heath and pool where the Little Folk bide | I |
| We may share in fairy mirth | J |
| And partake once more in the happy thoughts of earth | J |
| - | |
| Lo we may rest | K |
| Here on her cradling breast | K |
| In the wonderful time of the truce o' night | L |
| And sweet things that happened long ago | M |
| Softly and slow | M |
| Will creep back to us in delight | L |
| And our dreams may be | B |
| Compact of young melody | B |
| Just such as under the Eden Tree | B |
| 'Mid the seraphim's lullabies | N |
| Eve's might have been ere banished from Paradise | O |
