Rhyme Scheme: AAABBBCC DDDEEEFF FFFGGGAA HHHHHHII HHHFFFJJ| Far down the lane | A |
| A window pane | A |
| Gleams 'mid the trees through night and rain | A |
| The weeds are dense | B |
| Through which a fence | B |
| Of pickets rambles none sees whence | B |
| Before a porch all indistinct of line | C |
| O'er grown and matted with wistaria vine | C |
| - | |
| No thing is heard | D |
| No beast or bird | D |
| Only the rain by which are stirred | D |
| The draining leaves | E |
| And trickling eaves | E |
| Of crib and barn one scarce perceives | E |
| And garden beds where old time flow'rs hang wet | F |
| The phlox the candytuft and mignonette | F |
| - | |
| The hour is late | F |
| At any rate | F |
| She has not heard him at the gate | F |
| Upon the roof | G |
| The rain was proof | G |
| Against his horse's galloping hoof | G |
| And when the old gate with its weight and chain | A |
| Creaked she imagined 't was the wind and rain | A |
| - | |
| Along he steals | H |
| With cautious heels | H |
| And by the lamplit window kneels | H |
| And there she sits | H |
| And rocks and knits | H |
| Within the shadowy light that flits | H |
| On face and hair so sweetly sad and gray | I |
| Dreaming of him she thinks is far away | I |
| - | |
| Upon his cheeks | H |
| Is it the streaks | H |
| Of rain as now the old porch creaks | H |
| Beneath his stride | F |
| Then warm and wide | F |
| The door flings and she's at his side | F |
| 'Mother ' and he back from the war her boy | J |
| Kisses her face all streaming wet with joy | J |
