| One do I see and twelve but second there | B |
| Methinks I know thee thou beloved one | C |
| Not from thy nobler port for there are none | C |
| More quiet featured some there are who bear | B |
| Their message on their brows while others wear | B |
| A look of large commission nor will shun | C |
| The fiery trial so their work is done | C |
| But thou hast parted with thine eyes in prayer | B |
| Unearthly are they both and so thy lips | D |
| Seem like the porches of the spirit land | E |
| For thou hast laid a mighty treasure by | A |
| Unlocked by Him in Nature and thine eye | A |
| Burns with a vision and apocalypse | D |
| Thy own sweet soul can hardly understand | E |

| A Boanerges too Upon my heart | F |
| It lay a heavy hour features like thine | G |
| Should glow with other message than the shine | G |
| Of the earth burrowing levin and the start | F |
| That cleaveth horrid gulfs Awful and swart | H |
| A moment stoodest thou but less divine | G |
| Brawny and clad in ruin till with mine | G |
| Thy heart made answering signals and apart | F |
| Beamed forth thy two rapt eyeballs doubly clear | I |
| And twice as strong because thou didst thy duty | J |
| And though affianced to immortal Beauty | J |
| Hiddest not weakly underneath her veil | K |
| The pest of Sin and Death which maketh pale | K |
| Henceforward be thy spirit doubly dear | I |
