Rhyme Scheme: AABCCB DDEFFG HHIJJI KKLMML NNOJJO PPCDDC| I marvel if my heart | A |
| Hath any room apart | A |
| Built secretly its mystic walls within | B |
| With subtly warded key | C |
| Ne'er yielded unto me | C |
| Where even I have surely never been | B |
| - | |
| Ah surely I know all | D |
| The bright and cheerful hall | D |
| With the fire ever red upon its hearth | E |
| My friends dwell with me there | F |
| Nor comes the step of Care | F |
| To sadden down its music and its mirth | G |
| - | |
| Full well I know as mine | H |
| The little cloister'd shrine | H |
| No foot but mine alone hath ever trod | I |
| There come the shining wings | J |
| The face of one who brings | J |
| The pray'rs of men before the throne of God | I |
| - | |
| And many know full well | K |
| The busy busy cell | K |
| Where I toil at the work I have to do | L |
| Nor is the portal fast | M |
| Where stand phantoms of the past | M |
| Or grow the bitter plants of darksome rue | L |
| - | |
| I know the dainty spot | N |
| Ah who doth know it not | N |
| Where pure young Love his lily cradle made | O |
| And nestled some sweet springs | J |
| With lily spangled wings | J |
| Forget me nots upon his bier I laid | O |
| - | |
| Yet marvel I my soul | P |
| Know I thy very whole | P |
| Or dost thou hide a chamber still from me | C |
| Is it built upon the wall | D |
| Is it spacious is it small | D |
| Is it God or man or I who holds the key | C |
