| Apart wide and new nestle at heaven most high | D |
| They touch heaven tabour on it how their talons sweep | C |
| The smouldering enormous winter welkin May | E |
| Mells blue and snowwhite through them a fringe and fray | E |
| Of greenery it is old earth's groping towards the steep | C |
| Heaven whom she childs us by | D |

| Of greenery and old earth gropes for grasps at steep | C |
| Heaven with it whom she childs things by | D |
