Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDEFFGGHHIIJJKK LLMMNN| Between the darkness and the day | A |
| As lost in doubt I went my way | A |
| I met a shape as faint as fair | B |
| With star like blossoms in its hair | B |
| Its body which the moon shone through | C |
| Was partly cloud and partly dew | C |
| Its eyes were bright as if with tears | D |
| And held the look of long gone years | E |
| Its mouth was piteous sweet yet dread | F |
| As if with kisses of the dead | F |
| And in its hand it bore a flower | G |
| In memory of some haunted hour | G |
| I knew it for the Dream I'd had | H |
| In days when life was young and glad | H |
| Why had it come with love and woe | I |
| Out of the happy Long Ago | I |
| Upon my brow I felt its breath | J |
| Heard ancient words of faith and death | J |
| Sweet with the immortality | K |
| Of many a fragrant memory | K |
| And to my heart again I took | L |
| Its joy and sorrow in a look | L |
| And kissed its eyes and held it fast | M |
| And bore it home from out the past | M |
| My Dream of Beauty and of Truth | N |
| I dreamed had perished with my Youth | N |
