Rhyme Scheme: AABAB CCDCD AAEAE FFAFA AADAG HHIHJ KKLKL JJMJM NNANA AAJAJ JJJJJ OOAOA JJCJC BBJJJ| From out the hills where twilight stands | A |
| Above the shadowy pasture lands | A |
| With strained and strident cry | B |
| Beneath pale skies that sunset bands | A |
| The bull bats fly | B |
| - | |
| A cloud hangs over strange of shape | C |
| And colored like the half ripe grape | C |
| Seems some uneven stain | D |
| On heaven's azure thin as crape | C |
| And blue as rain | D |
| - | |
| By ways that sunset's sardonyx | A |
| O'erflares and gates the farm boy clicks | A |
| Through which the cattle came | E |
| The mullein stalks seem giant wicks | A |
| Of downy flame | E |
| - | |
| From woods no glimmer enters in | F |
| Above the streams that wandering win | F |
| To where the wood pool bids | A |
| Those haunters of the dusk begin | F |
| The katydids | A |
| - | |
| Adown the dark the firefly marks | A |
| Its flight in gold and emerald sparks | A |
| And loosened from his chain | D |
| The shaggy mastiff bounds and barks | A |
| And barks again | G |
| - | |
| Each breeze brings scents of hill heaped hay | H |
| And now an owlet far away | H |
| Cries twice or thrice 'T o o w h o o' | I |
| And cool dim moths of mottled gray | H |
| Flit through the dew | J |
| - | |
| The silence sounds its frog bassoon | K |
| Where on the woodland creek's lagoon | K |
| Pale as a ghostly girl | L |
| Lost 'mid the trees looks down the moon | K |
| With face of pearl | L |
| - | |
| Within the shed where logs late hewed | J |
| Smell forest sweet and chips of wood | J |
| Make blurs of white and brown | M |
| The brood hen cuddles her warm brood | J |
| Of teetering down | M |
| - | |
| The clattering guineas in the tree | N |
| Din for a time and quietly | N |
| The henhouse near the fence | A |
| Sleeps save for some brief rivalry | N |
| Of cocks and hens | A |
| - | |
| A cowbell tinkles by the rails | A |
| Where streaming white in foaming pails | A |
| Milk makes an uddery sound | J |
| While overhead the black bat trails | A |
| Around and round | J |
| - | |
| The night is still The slow cows chew | J |
| A drowsy cud The bird that flew | J |
| And sang is in its nest | J |
| It is the time of falling dew | J |
| Of dreams and rest | J |
| - | |
| The beehives sleep and round the walk | O |
| The garden path from stalk to stalk | O |
| The bungling beetle booms | A |
| Where two soft shadows stand and talk | O |
| Among the blooms | A |
| - | |
| The stars are thick the light is dead | J |
| That dyed the west and Drowsyhead | J |
| Tuning his cricket pipe | C |
| Nods and some apple round and red | J |
| Drops over ripe | C |
| - | |
| Now down the road that shambles by | B |
| A window shining like an eye | B |
| Through climbing rose and gourd | J |
| Shows Age and young Rusticity | J |
| Seated at board | J |
