| Because thou hast the power and own'st the grace | A |
| To look through and behind this mask of me | B |
| Against which years have beat thus blanchingly | C |
| With their rains and behold my soul's true face | A |
| The dim and weary witness of life's race mdash | D |
| Because thou hast the faith and love to see | B |
| Through that same soul's distracting lethargy | B |
| The patient angel waiting for a place | A |
| In the new Heavens mdash because nor sin nor woe | E |
| Nor God's infliction nor death's neighborhood | F |
| Nor all which others viewing turn to go | E |
| Nor all which makes me tired of all self viewed mdash | D |
| Nothing repels thee Dearest teach me so | E |
| To pour out gratitude as thou dost good | F |
