Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDEFGFHIJJIKLLK MNMNOPPOQRRQSTSTULLU VWWXYZYZ| The sky grows white with the moon | A |
| And the sea yearns up to the night | B |
| As the soul to an unknown height | B |
| Drawn thence by a starry rune | A |
| Only a lost wind strays | C |
| Like the breath of Passion blown | D |
| In the vault of the night unknown | D |
| And the heart in me sobs and says | E |
| 'After a while we too | F |
| Shall rest as the stars above | G |
| When we have no more to do | F |
| With the dream of life and love ' | H |
| O Time thy feet that run | I |
| Over the hills and waves | J |
| Over the cradles and graves | J |
| From the first to the final sun | I |
| Some day thou too shalt cease | K |
| Some way there'll come to thee | L |
| Death's white tranquility | L |
| The boon of an awful peace | K |
| When the latest grief shall flow | M |
| With the surge that drifts away | N |
| And the Night shall no more go | M |
| In her endless chase of Day | N |
| Then shall the worn heart rest | O |
| Then shall the sad Sea yearn | P |
| No more for the Moon's return | P |
| Like a bird on its frozen nest | O |
| Dead with her young ones dead | Q |
| Under her breast on the bough | R |
| Where nothing can wake them now | R |
| Not the Dawn with its golden tread | Q |
| Where Death has been good to all | S |
| Good to the mother and young | T |
| And the dreams are beyond recall | S |
| And the songs have all been sung | T |
| So at the last to sleep | U |
| So at the last to be | L |
| Still as the dead still sea | L |
| Never to wake and weep | U |
| Never to know Love's pain | V |
| Never to yearn on for | W |
| What is gone for evermore | W |
| To be as we were again | X |
| Ere we came o'er the bourne of birth | Y |
| Ere we knew of the fading flowers | Z |
| Of love and of life on Earth | Y |
| And the hearts that were not ours | Z |
