Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHI JKLIAMNO| In the evening | A |
| all the hours that weren't used | B |
| are emptied out | C |
| and the beggars are waiting to gather them up | D |
| to open them | E |
| to find the sun in each one | F |
| and teach it its beggar's name | G |
| and sing to it It is well | H |
| through the night | I |
| - | |
| but each of us | J |
| has his own kingdom of pains | K |
| and has not yet found them all | L |
| and is sailing in search of them day and night | I |
| infallible undisputed unresting | A |
| filled with a dumb use | M |
| and its time | N |
| like a finger in a world without hands | O |
