Rhyme Scheme: AABACC DEEDFG HIIHJK LGGLMM NOONPP QNNQRR STUSVV WXXWYY| But one short night between my Love and me | A |
| I watch the soft shod dusk creep wistfully | A |
| Through the slow moving curtains pausing by | B |
| And shrouding with its spirit fingers free | A |
| Each well known chair There is a growing grace | C |
| Of tender magic in this little place | C |
| - | |
| Comes through half opened windows soft and cool | D |
| As Spring's young breath the vagrant evening air | E |
| My day worn soul is hushed I fain would bear | E |
| No burdens on my brain to night no rule | D |
| Of anxious thought the world has had my tears | F |
| My thoughts my hopes my aims these many years | G |
| - | |
| This is Thy hour and I shall sink to sleep | H |
| With a glad weariness to know that when | I |
| The new day dawns I shall lay by my pen | I |
| Needed no more If I perchance should weep | H |
| A few quick tears so doing who would guess | J |
| 'Twas the last throb of my soul's loneliness | K |
| - | |
| Not even thou Dear Heart canst ever know | L |
| How I have yearned these many months these years | G |
| For love for thee As the calm boatman steers | G |
| His slender shallop where he fain would go | L |
| Tempests and rocks before so through the dark | M |
| To this dim far off day has set my bark | M |
| - | |
| To morrow I can hear the quick closed door | N |
| The approaching steps my pained heart's fluttering | O |
| Thy voice then Thee And all the storm and sting | O |
| Of bygone griefs are passed forevermore | N |
| Swept from my life as the resistless wind | P |
| Scatters the chaff nor leaves a mote behind | P |
| - | |
| As long imprisoned captives reach the light | Q |
| And gaze with greedy eyes on field and tree | N |
| Drinking the beauties of the sky and sea | N |
| Half fearful of their bliss so from the night | Q |
| Of dreams and shades half doubting we awake | R |
| And grasp the joy we almost fear to take | R |
| - | |
| Thou hidest in thy warm ones my cold hand | S |
| Reading my soul in these unwavering eyes | T |
| Nay thou hast known my hopes my agonies | U |
| Through written words and thou canst understand | S |
| I have kept nothing back of all the streams | V |
| Of my heart flowings doubts nor fears nor dreams | V |
| - | |
| So long my life has followed no control | W |
| But mine own impulse now I pray thee bend | X |
| My will to thine and so unhindered tend | X |
| My soul's wild garden I have laid the whole | W |
| Bare to thy sowing and life's precious wine | Y |
| Is of thy pouring and thy way is mine | Y |
