Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDEECD| They met and overwhelming her distrust | A |
| With penitence he praised away her fear | B |
| They married and Job gave him half a year | B |
| To wreck the temple as we knew he must | A |
| He fumbled hungrily to readjust | A |
| A fallen altar but the road was clear | B |
| By which it was her will to disappear | B |
| That evening when Job found him in the dust | A |

| Job would have deprecated such a way | C |
| Of heaving fuel on a sacred fire | D |
| Yet even the while we saw it going out | E |
| Hardly was Job to find his hour to shout | E |
| And Job was not so far as we could say | C |
| The confirmation of her soul's desire | D |
