| Night with her power to silence day | B |
| Filled up my lonely room | C |
| Quenching all sounds but one that lay | B |
| Beyond her passing doom | C |
| Where in his shed a workman gay | B |
| Went on despite the gloom | C |
| - | |
| I listened and I knew the sound | D |
| And the trade that he was plying | E |
| For backwards forwards bound on bound | D |
| A shuttle was flying flying | E |
| Weaving ever till all unwound | D |
| The weft go out a sighing | E |

| - | |
| As hidden in thy chamber lowest | F |
| As in the sky the lark | G |
| Thou mystic thing on working goest | F |
| Without the poorest spark | G |
| And yet light's garment round me throwest | F |
| Who else as thou were dark | G |
| - | |
| With body ever clothing me | H |
| Thou mak'st me child of light | F |
| I look and Lo the earth and sea | H |
| The sky's rejoicing height | F |
| A woven glory globed by thee | H |
| Unknowing of thy might | F |
| - | |
| And when thy darkling labours fail | I |
| And thy shuttle moveless lies | J |
| My world will drop like untied veil | I |
| From before a lady's eyes | J |
| Or all night read a finished tale | I |
| That in the morning dies | J |

| - | |
| Yet not in vain dost thou unroll | I |
| The stars the world the seas | K |
| A mighty wonder painted scroll | I |
| Of Patmos mysteries | K |
| Thou mediator 'twixt my soul | I |
| And higher things than these | K |
| - | |
| Thy holy ephod bound on me | H |
| I pass into a seer | L |
| For still in things thou mak'st me see | H |
| The unseen grows more clear | M |
| Still their indwelling Deity | H |
| Speaks plainer in mine ear | L |
| - | |
| Divinely taught the craftsman is | N |
| Who waketh wonderings | N |
| Whose web the nursing chrysalis | N |
| Round Psyche's folded wings | N |
| To them transfers the loveliness | N |
| Of its inwoven things | N |
| - | |
| Yet joy when thou shalt cease to beat | F |
| For a greater heart beats on | O |
| Whose better texture follows fleet | F |
| On thy last thread outrun | P |
| With a seamless woven garment meet | F |
| To clothe a death born son | P |
