Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHIJ KLMN OPQP RSTU VWXY| There came a day at summer's full | A |
| Entirely for me | B |
| I thought that such were for the saints | C |
| Where revelations be | B |
| - | |
| The sun as common went abroad | D |
| The flowers accustomed blew | E |
| As if no soul the solstice passed | F |
| That maketh all things new | E |

| The time was scarce profaned by speech | G |
| The symbol of a word | H |
| Was needless as at sacrament | I |
| The wardrobe of our Lord | J |
| - | |
| Each was to each the sealed church | K |
| Permitted to commune this time | L |
| Lest we too awkward show | M |
| At supper of the Lamb | N |
| - | |
| The hours slid fast as hours will | O |
| Clutched tight by greedy hands | P |
| So faces on two decks look back | Q |
| Bound to opposing lands | P |
| - | |
| And so when all the time had failed | R |
| Without external sound | S |
| Each bound the other's crucifix | T |
| We gave no other bond | U |
| - | |
| Sufficient troth that we shall rise | V |
| Deposed at length the grave | W |
| To that new marriage justified | X |
| Through Calvaries of Love | Y |
