Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDD EEFFFF EEGGHI EEFFJJ| When twilight darkens and one by one | A |
| The sweet birds to their nests have gone | B |
| When to green banks the glow worms bring | C |
| Pale lamps to brighten evening | C |
| Then stirs in his thick sleep the owl | D |
| Through the dewy air to prowl | D |

| Hawking the meadows swiftly he flits | E |
| While the small mouse atrembling sits | E |
| With tiny eye of fear upcast | F |
| Until his brooding shape be past | F |
| Hiding her where the moonbeams beat | F |
| Casting black shadows in the wheat | F |
| - | |
| Now all is still the field man is | E |
| Lapped deep in slumbering silentness | E |
| Not a leaf stirs but clouds on high | G |
| Pass in dim flocks across the sky | G |
| Puffed by a breeze too light to move | H |
| Aught but these wakeful sheep above | I |
| - | |
| O what an arch of light now spans | E |
| These fields by night no longer Man's | E |
| Their ancient Master is abroad | F |
| Walking beneath the moonlight cold | F |
| His presence is the stillness He | J |
| Fills earth with wonder and mystery | J |
