Rhyme Scheme: ABAB BCBC DEDE FGFG| If sunset clouds could grow on trees | A |
| It would but match the may in flower | B |
| And skies be underneath the seas | A |
| No topsyturvier than a shower | B |
| - | |
| If mountains rose on wings to wander | B |
| They were no wilder than a cloud | C |
| Yet all my praise is mean as slander | B |
| Mean as these mean words spoken aloud | C |

| And never more than now I know | D |
| That man's first heaven is far behind | E |
| Unless the blazing seraph's blow | D |
| Has left him in the garden blind | E |

| Witness O Sun that blinds our eyes | F |
| Unthinkable and unthankable King | G |
| That though all other wonder dies | F |
| I wonder at not wondering | G |
