Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEFGGCan it be true so fragrant and so fair | A |
To give thy perfumes to the dews of night | B |
Can aught so beautiful despise the glare | A |
And fade and sicken in the morning light | B |
- | |
Yes peerless flower the Heavens alone exhale | C |
Thy fragrance while the glittering stars attest | D |
And incense wafted by the midnight gale | C |
Untainted rises from thy spotless breast | D |

How like that Faith whose nature is apart | E |
From human gaze to love and work unseen | F |
Which gives to God an undivided heart | E |
In sorrow steadfast and in joy serene | F |
That night flower of the soul whose fragrant power | G |
Breathes on the darkness of the closing hour | G |
