Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCDED FDGD ADAD HIBIBI| I came back late and tired last night | A |
| Into my little room | B |
| To the long chair and the firelight | A |
| And comfortable gloom | B |
| - | |
| But as I entered softly in | C |
| I saw a woman there | D |
| The line of neck and cheek and chin | C |
| The darkness of her hair | D |
| The form of one I did not know | E |
| Sitting in my chair | D |
| - | |
| I stood a moment fierce and still | F |
| Watching her neck and hair | D |
| I made a step to her and saw | G |
| That there was no one there | D |
| - | |
| It was some trick of the firelight | A |
| That made me see her there | D |
| It was a chance of shade and light | A |
| And the cushion in the chair | D |
| - | |
| Oh all you happy over the earth | H |
| That night how could I sleep | I |
| I lay and watched the lonely gloom | B |
| And watched the moonlight creep | I |
| From wall to basin round the room | B |
| All night I could not sleep | I |
