| - | |
| Beloved my Beloved when I think | B |
| That thou wast in the world a year ago | C |
| What time I sat alone here in the snow | C |
| And saw no footprint heard the silence sink | B |
| No moment at thy voice but link by link | B |
| Went counting all my chains as if that so | C |
| They never could fall off at any blow | C |
| Struck by thy possible hand why thus I drink | B |
| Of life's great cup of wonder Wonderful | D |
| Never to feel thee thrill the day or night | E |
| With personal act or speech nor ever cull | D |
| Some prescience of thee with the blossoms white | E |
| Thou sawest growing Atheists are as dull | D |
| Who cannot guess God's presence out of sight | E |
