Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDB EFGFHF IJEJKJ FLMNOL| Dark is the night | A |
| The fire burns faint and low | B |
| Hours days years | C |
| Into grey ashes go | B |
| I strive to read | D |
| But sombre is the glow | B |

| Thumbed are the pages | E |
| And the print is small | F |
| Mocking the winds | G |
| That from the darkness call | F |
| Feeble the fire that lends | H |
| Its light withal | F |
| - | |
| O ghost draw nearer | I |
| Let thy shadowy hair | J |
| Blot out the pages | E |
| That we cannot share | J |
| Be ours the one last leaf | K |
| By Fate left bare | J |
| - | |
| Let's Finis scrawl | F |
| And then Life's book put by | L |
| Turn each to each | M |
| In all simplicity | N |
| Ere the last flame is gone | O |
| To warm us by | L |
