| Once in a dream I saw the flowers | B |
| That bud and bloom in Paradise | C |
| More fair they are than waking eyes | D |
| Have seen in all this world of ours | B |
| And faint the perfume bearing rose | E |
| And faint the lily on its stem | F |
| And faint the perfect violet | G |
| Compared with them | F |

| I heard the songs of Paradise | C |
| Each bird sat singing in his place | H |
| A tender song so full of grace | H |
| It soared like incense to the skies | D |
| Each bird sat singing to his mate | I |
| Soft cooing notes among the trees | J |
| The nightingale herself were cold | K |
| To such as these | J |

| I saw the fourfold River flow | L |
| And deep it was with golden sand | M |
| It flowed between a mossy land | M |
| With murmured music grave and low | L |
| It hath refreshment for all thirst | N |
| For fainting spirits strength and rest | O |
| Earth holds not such a draught as this | P |
| From east to west | O |

| The Tree of Life stood budding there | Q |
| Abundant with its twelvefold fruits | R |
| Eternal sap sustains its roots | R |
| Its shadowing branches fill the air | Q |
| Its leaves are healing for the world | S |
| Its fruit the hungry world can feed | T |
| Sweeter than honey to the taste | U |
| And balm indeed | T |

| I saw the gate called Beautiful | V |
| And looked but scarce could look within | W |
| I saw the golden streets begin | W |
| And outskirts of the glassy pool | X |
| Oh harps oh crowns of plenteous stars | Y |
| Oh green palm branches many leaved | T |
| Eye hath not seen nor ear hath heard | T |
| Nor heart conceived | T |
| - | |
| I hope to see these things again | Z |
| But not as once in dreams by night | T |
| To see them with my very sight | T |
| And touch and handle and attain | A2 |
| To have all Heaven beneath my feet | T |
| For narrow way that once they trod | T |
| To have my part with all the saints | B2 |
| And with my God | T |
