| Drew nigh thy greatness with a little thing | B |
| Thou didst receive me and thy sky of truth | A |
| - | |
| Has domed me since a heaven of sheltering | B |
| Made homely by the tenderness and grace | C |
| Which round thy absolute friendship ever fling | B |
| - | |
| A radiant atmosphere Turn not thy face | C |
| From that small part of earnest thanks I pray | D |
| Which spoken leaves much more in speechless case | C |

| Up the great peaks and striding stronger still | E |
| Thy intellect unrivalled in its sway | D |
| - | |
| Upheld and ordered by a regnant will | E |
| Thy wisdom seer and priest of holy fate | F |
| Searching all truths its prophecy to fill | E |

| But this my joy throned in thy heart so great | F |
| High Love is queen and sits without a mate | F |
