Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEDE EFEF GHGH IJIJ| Tranquil in the twilight dense | A |
| By the spreading branches made | B |
| Let us breathe the influence | C |
| Of the silence and the shade | B |
| - | |
| Let your heart melt into mine | D |
| And your soul reach out to me | E |
| 'Mid the languors of the pine | D |
| And the sighing arbute tree | E |
| - | |
| Close your eyes your hands let be | E |
| Folded on your slumbering heart | F |
| From whose hold all treachery | E |
| Drive forever and all art | F |
| - | |
| Let us with the hour accord | G |
| Let us let the gentle wind | H |
| Rippling in the sunburnt sward | G |
| Bring us to a patient mind | H |
| - | |
| And when Night across the air | I |
| Shall her solemn shadow fling | J |
| Touching voice of our despair | I |
| Long the nightingale shall sing | J |
