| - | |
| I cannot sing to thee as I would sing | B |
| If I were quickened like the holy lark | C |
| With fire from Heaven and sunlight on his wing | B |
| Who wakes the world with witcheries of the dark | C |
| Renewed in rapture in the reddening air | D |
| A thing of splendour do I deem him then | E |
| A feather'd frenzy with an angel's throat | F |
| A something sweet that somewhere seems to float | F |
| 'Twixt earth and sky to be a sign to men | E |
| He fills me with such wonder and despair | D |
| I long to kiss thy locks so golden bright | G |
| As he doth kiss the tresses of the sun | H |
| Oh bid me sing to thee my chosen one | H |
| And do thou teach me Love to sing aright | G |
