Rhyme Scheme: A BBCCDDEEFGHIJKLL

JohnA
-
What happy secret fountainB
Fair shade or mountainB
Whose undiscovered virgin gloryC
Boasts it this day though not in storyC
Was then thy dwelling Did some cloudD
Fixed to a tent descend a shroudD
My distressed Lord Or did a starE
Beckoned by Thee though high and farE
In sparkling smiles haste gladly downF
To lodge light and increase her ownG
My dear dear God I do not knowH
What lodged Thee then nor where nor howI
But I am sure Thou dost now comeJ
Oft to a narrow homely roomK
Where Thou too hast but the least partL
My God I mean my sinful heartL
