Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCBBA DEEFDFWhen we can all so excellently give | A |
The measure of love's wisdom with a blow | B |
Why can we not in turn receive it so | B |
And end this murmur for the life we live | C |
And when we do so frantically strive | C |
To win strange faith why do we shun to know | B |
That in love's elemental over glow | B |
God's wholeness gleams with light superlative | A |

Oh brother men if you have eyes at all | D |
Look at a branch a bird a child a rose | E |
Or anything God ever made that grows | E |
Nor let the smallest vision of it slip | F |
Till you can read as on Belshazzar's wall | D |
The glory of eternal partnership | F |
