| Under the drowsy sky | B |
| I seem to hear in the stillness | C |
| The moths go glimmering by | B |

| One by one from the windows | D |
| The lights have all been sped | E |
| Never a blind looks conscious | C |
| The street is asleep in bed | E |

| But I come where a living casement | E |
| Laughs luminous and wide | E |
| I hear the song of a piano | F |
| Break in a sparkling tide | E |

| And warbles swift and clear | G |
| A sudden sense of shelter | H |
| And friendliness and cheer | G |

| A sense of tinkling glasses | C |
| Of love and laughter and light | E |
| The piano stops and the window | F |
| Stares blank out into the night | E |

| The blind goes out and I wander | H |
| To the old unfriendly sea | C |
| The lonelier for the memory | C |
| That walks like a ghost with me | C |
