Rhyme Scheme: ABBBBCBCDEDEFF G HEHEFF| By mead and marsh and sandhill clad with bent | A |
| Soothed by the wistful musings of the wind | B |
| That in scarce listening ears are mildly dinned | B |
| On plods the traveller till the day be spent | B |
| And day dreams end in dreamless night at last | B |
| He hears beyond the grey bent's silken waves | C |
| The foam embroidered waters ever cast | B |
| On sighing sands and into echoing caves | C |
| And from the west where the last sunset glow | D |
| Still lingers on the border hills afar | E |
| Come pastoral sounds attenuate and low | D |
| Thence where the night shall bring 'neath cloud and star | E |
| Silence to yearn o'er folk worn with day's strife | F |
| Lost in blank sleep to hope regret death life | F |
| - | |
| An alternative ending | G |
| - | |
| While from the West comes murmuring earthly noise | H |
| Sweet slumberous attenuate and afar | E |
| Sad sunglows in the border mountains poise | H |
| There where he knows to night mid cloud and star | E |
| Silence shall yearn o'er folk worn out with strife | F |
| Lost in blank sleep to hope regret death life | F |
