| A solemn thing it was I said | B |
| A woman white to be | C |
| And wear if God should count me fit | D |
| Her blameless mystery | C |
| - | |
| A hallowed thing to drop a life | E |
| Into the purple well | F |
| Too plummetless that it return | G |
| Eternity until | H |

| I pondered how the bliss would look | I |
| And would it feel as big | J |
| When I could take it in my hand | K |
| As hovering seen through fog | L |

| And then the size of this small life | E |
| The Sages call it small | M |
| Swelled like Horizons in my vest | N |
| And I sneered softly small | M |
