Rhyme Scheme: ABABB CDEDD AFAFF AGAGG| I came into the City and none knew me | A |
| None came forth none shouted 'He is here | B |
| Not a hand with laurel would bestrew me | A |
| All the way by which I drew anear | B |
| Night my banner and my herald Fear | B |
| - | |
| But I knew where one so long had waited | C |
| In the low room at the stairway's height | D |
| Trembling lest my foot should be belated | E |
| Singing sighing for the long hours' flight | D |
| Towards the moment of our dear delight | D |
| - | |
| I came into the City when you hail'd me | A |
| Saviour and again your chosen Lord | F |
| Not one guessing what it was that fail'd me | A |
| While along the way as they adored | F |
| Thousands thousands shouted in accord | F |
| - | |
| But through all the joy I knew I only | A |
| How the hostel of my heart lay bare and cold | G |
| Silent of its music and how lonely | A |
| Never though you crown me with your gold | G |
| Shall I find that little chamber as of old | G |
