Rhyme Scheme: A BCBCCDDECFFGHHG A| o | A |
| - | |
| They float before my soul the fair designs | B |
| Which I would body forth to life and power | C |
| Like clouds that with their wavering hues and lines | B |
| Portray majestic building dome and tower | C |
| Bright spire that through the rainbow and the shower | C |
| Points to the unchanging stars and high arcade | D |
| Far sweeping to some glorious altar made | D |
| For holiest rites | E |
| Meanwhile the waning hour | C |
| Melts from me and by fervent dreams overwrought | F |
| I sink O friend O linked with each high thought | F |
| Aid me of those rich visions to detain | G |
| All I may grasp until thou seest fulfilled | H |
| While time and strength allow my hope to build | H |
| For lowly hearts devout but one enduring fane | G |
