Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFCGCG HIHIEJEJ EAEAEKEL MNBBOIOI| The clouds that promise a glorious morrow | A |
| Are fading slowly one by one | B |
| The earth no more bright rays may borrow | A |
| From her loved Lord the golden sun | B |
| Gray evening shadows are softly creeping | C |
| With noiseless steps o er vale and hill | D |
| The birds and flowers are calmly sleeping | C |
| And all around is fair and still | D |
| - | |
| Once loved I dearly at this sweet hour | E |
| With loitering steps to careless stray | F |
| To idly gather an opening flower | E |
| And often pause upon my way | F |
| Gazing around me with joyous feeling | C |
| From sunny earth to azure sky | G |
| Or bending over the streamlet stealing | C |
| Mid banks of flowers and verdure by | G |
| - | |
| You wond ring ask me why sit I lonely | H |
| Within my quiet curtain d room | I |
| So idly seeking and clinging only | H |
| Unto its chastened thoughtful gloom | I |
| You tell me that never fragrance rarer | E |
| Did breathe from clustering leaf and bough | J |
| That never the bright spring was fairer | E |
| Or more enchanting than she is now | J |
| - | |
| Ah useless chiding The loved ones tender | E |
| Who shared my rambles long ago | A |
| Whose cherished accents could only render | E |
| Words of affection soft and low | A |
| Are parted from me perchance for ever | E |
| By miles of distance of land or main | K |
| Death some has taken and them oh never | E |
| Upon this earth shall I meet again | L |
| - | |
| Tis thus this hour of gentle even | M |
| Brings back in thought the friends long gone | N |
| Loved ones with whom this earth was Heaven | B |
| But who have vanished one by one | B |
| Tis thus I cherish with wilful sadness | O |
| The quiet of my lonely room | I |
| Careless unmindful of all earth s gladness | O |
| Or of her lovely evening bloom | I |
