Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDEE FFGGHHEE IIJJKKEE LLMMNNEE| This twilight gloom This lone retreat | A |
| This silence to my soul is sweet | A |
| Awhile escap'd from toil and strife | B |
| And all the lesser ills of life | B |
| Here only at the evening's close | C |
| My weary spirit finds repose | D |
| My sinking heart its freedom gains | E |
| Which poverty had bound in chains | E |
| - | |
| For here unheard the moments fly | F |
| And so secure so happy I | F |
| That often at the very last | G |
| I feel not that my dream is past | G |
| The little hour of bliss I spend | H |
| With thee my chosen only friend | H |
| That transient hour the heart sustains | E |
| Which poverty has bound in chains | E |
| - | |
| And for this dear this precious hour | I |
| I would not if I had the power | I |
| Exchange a worldling's life of ease | J |
| Whom all around him seek to please | J |
| I have no other friend beside | K |
| But here I safely may confide | K |
| Suspicion ne'er the bosom stains | E |
| Which poverty has bound in chains | E |
| - | |
| How oft I wonder at my lot | L |
| How oft are all but thee forgot | L |
| While in this half despairing breast | M |
| Love builds a little quiet nest | M |
| To hover o'er with joyous wing | N |
| Nay sometimes soar aloft and sing | N |
| 'Tis this alone the heart sustains | E |
| Which poverty has bound in chains | E |
