Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEEEEFFGGHIJKLLMM| Please God forsake your water and dry bread | A |
| And fling the bitter cress you eat aside | B |
| Put by your rosary In Mary's name leave chanting creeds | C |
| To mildewing monks in Rome | D |
| Spring's at work in gardens bright with sun | E |
| Springtime's not made for living like a nun | E |
| Your faith my fairest lady your religion | E |
| Shows but a single face of love's medallion | E |
| Slip on this ring and this green gown these laces | F |
| The wood is furnitured with resting places | F |
| Hide in the birch tree's shade upon your knees | G |
| Murmur the mass of cuckoos litanies | G |
| Of spring's green foliage There's no sacrilege | H |
| If we find heaven here against the hedge | I |
| Remember Ovid's book and Ovid's truth | J |
| There's such a thing as having too much faith | K |
| Let us discover the shapes the earthly signs | L |
| Of our true selves our souls among the vines | L |
| For surely God and all his saints above | M |
| High in their other heaven pardon love | M |
