| Put the flashing needles by | A |
| Many days are not to spare | B |
| Or to waste my fairest fair | B |
| All is ready Come to day | C |
| For the nightingale her lay | C |
| When she findeth that the whole | D |
| Of her love and all her soul | D |
| Cannot forth of her sweet throat | E |
| Sobs the while she draws her breath | F |
| And the bravery of her note | E |
| In a few days altereth | F |
| - | |
| Come ere she despond and see | G |
| In a silent ecstasy | G |
| Chestnuts heave for hours and hours | H |
| All the glory of their flowers | H |
| To the melting blue above | I |
| That broods over them like love | I |
| Leave the garden walls where blow | J |
| Apple blossoms pink and low | J |
| Ordered beds of tulips fine | K |
| Seek the blossoms made divine | K |
| With a scent that is their soul | D |
| These are soulless Bring the white | L |
| Of thy gown to bathe in light | L |
| Walls for narrow hearts The whole | D |
| Earth is found and air and sea | G |
| Not too wide for thee and me | G |
| - | |
| Not too wide and yet thy face | M |
| Gives the meaning of all space | M |
| And thine eyes with starbeams fraught | N |
| Hold the measure of all thought | N |
| For of them my soul besought | N |
| And was shown a glimpse of thine | K |
| A veiled vestal with divine | K |
| Solace in sweet love's despair | B |
| For that life is brief as fair | B |
| Who hath most he yearneth most | N |
| Sure as seldom heretofore | O |
| Somewhere of the gracious more | O |
| Deepest joy the least shall boast | N |
| Asking with new opened eyes | P |
| The remainder that which lies | P |
| O so fair but not all conned | N |
| O so near and yet beyond | N |
| - | |
| Come and in the woodland sit | N |
| Seem a wonted part of it | N |
| Then while moves the delicate air | B |
| And the glories of thy hair | B |
| Little flickering sun rays strike | Q |
| Let me see what thou art like | Q |
| For great love enthralls me so | J |
| That in sooth I scarcely know | J |
| Show me in a house all green | R |
| Save for long gold wedges' sheen | R |
| Where the flies white sparks of fire | S |
| Dart and hover and aspire | T |
| And the leaves air stirred on high | A |
| Feel such joy they needs must sigh | A |
| And the untracked grass makes sweet | N |
| All fair flowers to touch thy feet | N |
| And the bees about them hum | U |
| All the world is waiting Come | U |
