Rhyme Scheme: A BCCBBCCBDEDEDE| XXII | A |
| - | |
| When our two souls stand up erect and strong | B |
| Face to face silent drawing nigh and nigher | C |
| Until the lengthening wings break into fire | C |
| At either curved point what bitter wrong | B |
| Can the earth do to us that we should not long | B |
| Be here contented Think In mounting higher | C |
| The angels would press on us and aspire | C |
| To drop some golden orb of perfect song | B |
| Into our deep dear silence Let us stay | D |
| Rather on earth Beloved where the unfit | E |
| Contrarious moods of men recoil away | D |
| And isolate pure spirits and permit | E |
| A place to stand and love in for a day | D |
| With darkness and the death hour rounding it | E |
