Rhyme Scheme: A BCCBDCCBEFEFEF| XXV | A |
| - | |
| A heavy heart Beloved have I borne | B |
| From year to year until I saw thy face | C |
| And sorrow after sorrow took the place | C |
| Of all those natural joys as lightly worn | B |
| As the stringed pearls each lifted in its turn | D |
| By a beating heart at dance time Hopes apace | C |
| Were changed to long despairs till God's own grace | C |
| Could scarcely lift above the world forlorn | B |
| My heavy heart Then thou didst bid me bring | E |
| And let it drop adown thy calmly great | F |
| Deep being Fast it sinketh as a thing | E |
| Which its own nature doth precipitate | F |
| While thine doth close above it mediating | E |
| Betwixt the stars and the unaccomplished fate | F |
