Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDDCEACB ABABDDAEAAB AFGBDDGEAGB ABHBDDHEAHB| When a night in November | A |
| Blew forth its bleared airs | B |
| An infant descended | C |
| His birth chamber stairs | B |
| For the very first time | D |
| At the still midnight chime | D |
| All unapprehended | C |
| His mission his aim | E |
| Thus first one November | A |
| An infant descended | C |
| The stairs | B |
| - | |
| On a night in November | A |
| Of weariful cares | B |
| A frail aged figure | A |
| Ascended those stairs | B |
| For the very last time | D |
| All gone his life's prime | D |
| All vanished his vigour | A |
| And fine forceful frame | E |
| Thus last one November | A |
| Ascended that figure | A |
| Upstairs | B |
| - | |
| On those nights in November | A |
| Apart eighty years | F |
| The babe and the bent one | G |
| Who traversed those stairs | B |
| From the early first time | D |
| To the last feeble climb | D |
| That fresh and that spent one | G |
| Were even the same | E |
| Yea who passed in November | A |
| As infant as bent one | G |
| Those stairs | B |
| - | |
| Wise child of November | A |
| From birth to blanched hairs | B |
| Descending ascending | H |
| Wealth wantless those stairs | B |
| Who saw quick in time | D |
| As a vain pantomime | D |
| Life's tending its ending | H |
| The worth of its fame | E |
| Wise child of November | A |
| Descending ascending | H |
| Those stairs | B |
