| - | |
| And yet because thou overcomest so | B |
| Because thou art more noble and like a king | C |
| Thou canst prevail against my fears and fling | C |
| Thy purple round me till my heart shall grow | B |
| Too close against thine heart henceforth to know | B |
| How it shook when alone Why conquering | C |
| May prove as lordly and complete a thing | C |
| In lifting upward as in crushing low | B |
| And as a vanquished soldier yields his sword | D |
| To one who lifts him from the bloody earth | E |
| Even so Beloved I at last record | D |
| Here ends my strife If thou invite me forth | F |
| I rise above abasement at the word | G |
| Make thy love larger to enlarge my worth | E |
