Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEF GHGHIJIJKLKL MNMNOPOPJQJQ| Deep on the convent roof the snows | A |
| Are sparkling to the moon | B |
| My breath to heaven like vapour goes | A |
| May my soul follow soon | B |
| The shadows of the convent towers | C |
| Slant down the snowy sward | D |
| Still creeping with the creeping hours | C |
| That lead me to my Lord | D |
| Make Thou my spirit pure and clear | E |
| As are the frosty skies | F |
| Or this first snowdrop of the year | E |
| That in my bosom lies | F |
| - | |
| As these white robes are soil'd and dark | G |
| To yonder shining ground | H |
| As this pale taper's earthly spark | G |
| To yonder argent round | H |
| So shows my soul before the Lamb | I |
| My spirit before Thee | J |
| So in mine earthly house I am | I |
| To that I hope to be | J |
| Break up the heavens O Lord and far | K |
| Thro' all yon starlight keen | L |
| Draw me thy bride a glittering star | K |
| In raiment white and clean | L |
| - | |
| He lifts me to the golden doors | M |
| The flashes come and go | N |
| All heaven bursts her starry floors | M |
| And strows her lights below | N |
| And deepens on and up the gates | O |
| Roll back and far within | P |
| For me the Heavenly Bridegroom waits | O |
| To make me pure of sin | P |
| The sabbaths of Eternity | J |
| One sabbath deep and wide | Q |
| A light upon the shining sea | J |
| The Bridegroom with his bride | Q |
Alfred Lord Tennyson
