| Ineffable angel with the jasmine wreathed | B |
| Wherefrom the sweetness over brow and lips | C |
| And luminous white eyelids tremulously slips | C |
| A visible essence from thy beauty breathed | B |
| The pure and pensive marvel of thy face is sheathed | B |
| In tresses softer than the bloom of night | B |
| Wherefrom the dampness on thy forehead drips | C |
| With dews from out God's meadows infinite | B |
| Thy face itself a lily filled with light | B |
| Thyself the youngest of God's angels and most fair | D |
| Bearing His latest breath and blessing on thine hair | D |
| Thou comest fresh from looking on thy Lord | B |
| And all is well and all is filled for thee | A |
| With eloquent mute wonder of His Word | B |
| Oh lean a little forth thy lips to me | A |
| For I am fain of peace amid this earthly strife | E |
| And I would drink a spent soul thirstily | F |
| From out thy never failing cup of life | E |
