Rhyme Scheme: A BCCBBCDBEBEBEB| XXVII | A |
| - | |
| My own Beloved who hast lifted me | B |
| From this drear flat of earth where I was thrown | C |
| And in betwixt the languid ringlets blown | C |
| A life breath till the forehead hopefully | B |
| Shines out again as all the angels see | B |
| Before thy saving kiss My own my own | C |
| Who camest to me when the world was gone | D |
| And I who looked for only God found thee | B |
| I find thee I am safe and strong and glad | E |
| As one who stands in dewless asphodel | B |
| Looks backward on the tedious time he had | E |
| In the upper life so I with bosom swell | B |
| Make witness here between the good and bad | E |
| That Love as strong as Death retrieves as well | B |
