Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFEGHIHJKLKMNON PQRQSTUV| The day begins to droop | A |
| Its course is done | B |
| But nothing tells the place | C |
| Of the setting sun | B |
| The hazy darkness deepens | D |
| And up the lane | E |
| You may hear but cannot see | F |
| The homing wain | E |
| An engine pants and hums | G |
| In the farm hard by | H |
| Its lowering smoke is lost | I |
| In the lowering sky | H |
| The soaking branches drip | J |
| And all night through | K |
| The dropping will not cease | L |
| In the avenue | K |
| A tall man there in the house | M |
| Must keep his chair | N |
| He knows he will never again | O |
| Breathe the spring air | N |
| His heart is worn with work | P |
| He is giddy and sick | Q |
| If he rise to go as far | R |
| As the nearest rick | Q |
| He thinks of his morn of life | S |
| His hale strong years | T |
| And braves as he may the night | U |
| Of darkness and tears | V |
