Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEE FGHGII JKLKMM ENANOO PQRQKK SRSFTT UVSVWE| Beside me in the golden light | A |
| That slants upon the floor | B |
| She twines the many colored silks | C |
| Her dimpled fingers o'er | D |
| Uplifting now and then her eye | E |
| Or praise or blame in mine to spy | E |
| - | |
| For her sweet sake I've cast aside | F |
| The books I've loved so well | G |
| And given up my being to | H |
| Affection's mighty spell | G |
| Ambition's visions vanish all | I |
| Before the music of her call | I |
| - | |
| The fancy of the past that lent | J |
| To jewels bright and rare | K |
| Ascendency at every birth | L |
| In this our planet's air | K |
| Hath to October's children given | M |
| The opal with its hues of Heaven | M |

| The golden sunlight in the sky | E |
| The red leaf on the plain | N |
| Beneath the opal's changeful light | A |
| Hope and Misfortune reign | N |
| And mid gay leaves of wondrous dyes | O |
| My darling first unclosed her eyes | O |
| - | |
| I cannot in the future look | P |
| The augury to prove | Q |
| But earthly joys and earthly woes | R |
| Must human spirits move | Q |
| And she like all must strive with care | K |
| Disasters meet and suffering bear | K |
| - | |
| But I will teach her hopefully | S |
| To meet what Fate betides | R |
| To live and labor earnestly | S |
| In narrow path or wide | F |
| And with salt tears on paling cheek | T |
| A benediction still to speak | T |
| - | |
| And if in some sweet inner sphere | U |
| Some home of love apart | V |
| An angel's duty she fulfil | S |
| With but a woman's heart | V |
| Haply the red leaf in its advent may | W |
| Find Hope o'er sorrow dominant for aye | E |
