| Around the railing and garden paling | E |
| The dripping lily hangs low its head | F |

| In splashing mire about the byre | H |
| The cattle huddle the farmhand plods | G |
| While to some neighbor's a wagon labors | G |
| Through pool and puddle and clay that clods | G |

| The day unsplendid at last is ended | I |
| Is dead and buried and night is come | J |
| Night blind and footless and foul and fruitless | G |
| With weeping wearied and sorrow dumb | J |

| Ah God for thunder for winds to sunder | H |
| The clouds and o'er us smite rushing bars | G |
| And through wild masses of storm that passes | G |
| Roll calm the chorus of moon and stars | G |
