Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHIH JKLK MNO| Softly along the road of evening | A |
| In a twilight dim with rose | B |
| Wrinkled with age and drenched with dew | C |
| Old Nod the shepherd goes | B |
| - | |
| His drowsy flock streams on before him | D |
| Their fleeces charged with gold | E |
| To where the sun's last beam leans low | F |
| On Nod the shepherd's fold | E |
| - | |
| The hedge is quick and green with briar | G |
| From their sand the conies creep | H |
| And all the birds that fly in heaven | I |
| Flock singing home to sleep | H |
| - | |
| His lambs outnumber a noon's roses | J |
| Yet when night's shadows fall | K |
| His blind old sheep dog Slumber soon | L |
| Misses not one of all | K |
| - | |
| His are the quiet steeps of dreamland | M |
| The waters of no more pain | N |
| His ram's bell rings 'neath an arch of stars | O |
| 'Rest rest and rest again ' | - |
