| Thy ruddiest blazing torch | B |
| That I albeit a beggar by the Porch | B |
| Of the glad Palace of Virginity | A |
| May gaze within k and sing the pomp I see | A |
| For crown'd with roses all | C |
| 'Tis there O Love they keep thy festival | D |
| But first warn off the beatific spot | E |
| Those wretched who have not | E |
| Even afar beheld the shining wall | C |
| And those who once beholding have forgot | E |
| And those most vile who dress | F |
| The charnel spectre drear | G |
| Of utterly dishallow'd nothingness | H |
| In that refulgent fame | I |
| And cry Lo here | G |
| And name | I |
| The Lady whose smiles inflame | I |
| The sphere | G |
| Bring Love anear And bid be not afraid | J |
| Young Lover true and love foreboding Maid | J |
| And wedded Spouse if virginal of thought | K |
| for I will sing of nought | K |
| Less sweet to hear | G |
| Than seems | L |
| A music their half remember'd dreams | L |
| The magnet calls the steel | M |
| Answers the iron to the magnet's breath | N |
| What do they feel | M |
| But death | N |
| The clouds of summer kiss in flame and rain | O |
| And are not found again | P |
| But the heavens themselves eternal are with fire | G |
| Of unapproach'd desire | G |
| By the aching heart of Love which cannot rest | K |
| In blissfullest pathos so indeed possess'd | K |
| O spousals high | Q |
| O doctrine blest | K |
| Unutterable in even the happiest sigh | Q |
| This know ye all | C |
| Who can recall | C |
| With what a welling of indignant tears | R |
| LOve's simpleness first hears | S |
| The meaning of his mortal covenant | K |
| And from what pride comes down | T |
| To wear the crown | T |
| Of which 'twas very heaven to feel the want | K |
| How envies he the ways | U |
| Of yonder hopeless star | G |
| And so would laugh and yearn | V |
| With trembling lids eterne | V |
| Ineffably content from infinitely far | G |
| Only to gaze | U |
| On his bright Mistress's responding rays | U |
| That never know eclipse | W |
| And once in his long year With praeternuptial ecstasy and fear | G |
| By the delicious law of that ellipse | W |
| Wherein all citizens of ether move | X |
| With hastening pace to come | Y |
| Nearer though never near | G |
| His Love | Z |
| And always inaccessible sweet Home | A2 |
| There on his path doubly to burn | V |
| Kiss'd by her doubled light | K |
| That whispers of its source | B2 |
| The ardent secret ever clothed with Night | K |
| Then go forth in new force | B2 |
| Towards a new return | V |
| Rejoicing as a Bridegroom on his course | B2 |
| This know ye all | C |
| Therefore gaze bold | K |
| That so in you be joyful hope increas'd | K |
| Thorough the Palace portals and behold | K |
| The dainty and unsating Marriage Feast | K |
| O hear | G |
| Them singing clear | G |
| 'Cor meum et caro mea'round the 'I am' | A2 |
| The Husband of the Heavens and the Lamb | A2 |
| Whom they for ever follow there that kept | K |
| Or losing never slept | K |
| Till they reconquer'd had in mortal fight | K |
| The standard white | K |
| O hear | G |
| From the harps they bore from Earth five strung what music springs | C2 |
| While the glad Spirits chide | K |
| The wondering strings | C2 |
| And how the shining sacrificial Choirs | D2 |
| Offering for aye their dearest hearts' desires | E2 |
| Which to their hearts come back beatified | K |
| Hymn the bright aisles along | F2 |
| The nuptial song | F2 |
| Song ever new to us and them that saith | N |
| 'Hail Virgin in Virginity a Spouse ' | G2 |
| Heard first below | H2 |
| Within the little house | I2 |
| At Nazareth | N |
| Heard yet in many a cell where brides of Christ | K |
| Lie hid emparadised | K |
| And where although | H2 |
| By the hour 'tis night | K |
| There's light | K |
| The Day still lingering in the lap of snow | H2 |
| Gaze and be not afraid | K |
| Ye wedded few that honour in sweet thought | K |
| And glittering will | J2 |
| So freshly from the garden gather still | J2 |
| The lily sacrificed | K |
| For ye though self suspected here for nought | K |
| Are highly styled | K |
| With the thousands twelve times twelve of undefiled | K |
| Gaze and be not afraid | K |
| Young Lover true and love foreboding Maid | K |
| The full Moon of deific vision bright | K |
| Abashes nor abates | K2 |
| No spark minute of Nature's keen delight | K |
| 'Tis there your Hymen waits | K2 |
| There wher in courts afar all unconfused they crowd | K |
| As fumes the starlight soft | K |
| In gulfs of cloud | K |
| And each to the other well content | K |
| Sighs oft | K |
| ''Twas this we meant ' | G2 |
| Gaze without blame | A2 |
| Ye in whom living Love yet blushes for dead shame | A2 |
| There of pure Virgins none | V |
| Is fairer seen | V |
| Save One | V |
| Than Mary Magdalene | V |
| Gaze without doubt or fear | G |
| Ye to whom generous Love by any name is dear | G |
| Love makes the life to be | A |
| A fount perpetual of virginity | A |
| For lo the Elect | K |
| Of generous Love how named soe'er affect | K |
| Nothing but God | K |
| Or mediate or direct | K |
| Nothing but God | K |
| The Husband of the Heavens | L2 |
| And who Him love in potence great or small | C |
| Are one and all | C |
| Heirs of the Palace glad | K |
| And inly clad | K |
| With the bridal robes of ardour virginal | D |
