Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLMLNOPQRS TUQCVQWXYZA2B2LMC2D2 UE2| Broad daylight with a sense of weariness | A |
| Mine eyes were closed but I was not asleep | B |
| My hand was in my father's and I felt | C |
| His presence near me Thus we often past | D |
| In silence hour by hour What was the need | E |
| Of interchanging words when every thought | F |
| That in our hearts arose was known to each | G |
| And every pulse kept time Suddenly there shone | H |
| A strange light and the scene as sudden changed | I |
| I was awake It was an open plain | J |
| Illimitable stretching stretching oh so far | K |
| And o'er it that strange light a glorious light | L |
| Like that the stars shed over fields of snow | M |
| In a clear cloudless frosty winter night | L |
| Only intenser in its brilliance calm | N |
| And in the midst of that vast plain I saw | O |
| For I was wide awake it was no dream | P |
| A tree with spreading branches and with leaves | Q |
| Of divers kinds dead silver and live gold | R |
| Shimmering in radiance that no words may tell | S |
| Beside the tree an Angel stood he plucked | T |
| A few small sprays and bound them round my head | U |
| Oh the delicious touch of those strange leaves | Q |
| No longer throbbed my brows no more I felt | C |
| The fever in my limbs And oh I cried | V |
| Bind too my father's forehead with these leaves | Q |
| One leaf the Angel took and therewith touched | W |
| His forehead and then gently whispered Nay | X |
| Never oh never had I seen a face | Y |
| More beautiful than that Angel's or more full | Z |
| Of holy pity and of love divine | A2 |
| Wondering I looked awhile then all at once | B2 |
| Opened my tear dimmed eyes When lo the light | L |
| Was gone the light as of the stars when snow | M |
| Lies deep upon the ground No more no more | C2 |
| Was seen the Angel's face I only found | D2 |
| My father watching patient by my bed | U |
| And holding in his own close prest my hand | E2 |
