Rhyme Scheme: ABABAA CACADD EFEFGG HIHIJJ KAAAKA| On London fell a clearer light | A |
| Caressing pencils of the sun | B |
| Defined the distances the white | A |
| Houses transfigured one by one | B |
| The long unlovely street impearled | A |
| O what a sky has walked the world | A |
| - | |
| Most happy year And out of town | C |
| The hay was prosperous and the wheat | A |
| The silken harvest climbed the down | C |
| Moon after moon was heavenly sweet | A |
| Stroking the bread within the sheaves | D |
| Looking twixt apples and their leaves | D |
| - | |
| And while this rose made round her cup | E |
| The armies died convulsed And when | F |
| This chaste young silver sun went up | E |
| Softly a thousand shattered men | F |
| One wet corruption heaped the plain | G |
| After a league long throb of pain | G |
| - | |
| Flower following tender flower and birds | H |
| And berries and benignant skies | I |
| Made thrive the serried flocks and herds | H |
| Yonder are men shot through the eyes | I |
| Love hide thy face | J |
| From man's unpardonable race | J |

| Who said No man hath greater love than this | K |
| To die to serve his friend | A |
| So these have loved us all unto the end | A |
| Chide thou no more O thou unsacrificed | A |
| The soldier dying dies upon a kiss | K |
| The very kiss of Christ | A |
