Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGHGH IFIFJKJK| The world was husht the moon above | A |
| Sailed thro' ether slowly | B |
| When near the casement of my love | A |
| Thus I whispered lowly | B |
| Awake awake how canst thou sleep | C |
| The field I seek to morrow | D |
| Is one where man hath fame to reap | C |
| And woman gleans but sorrow | D |
| - | |
| Let battle's field be what it may | E |
| Thus spoke a voice replying | F |
| Think not thy love while thou'rt away | E |
| Will sit here idly sighing | F |
| No woman's soul if not for fame | G |
| For love can brave all danger | H |
| Then forth from out the casement came | G |
| A plumed and armed stranger | H |
| - | |
| A stranger No 'twas she the maid | I |
| Herself before me beaming | F |
| With casque arrayed and falchion blade | I |
| Beneath her girdle gleaming | F |
| Close side by side in freedom's fight | J |
| That blessed morning found us | K |
| In Victory's light we stood ere night | J |
| And Love the morrow crowned us | K |
