Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDE F GGHHBBII| What hast thou run thy race art going down | A |
| Thou seemest angry why dost on us frown | A |
| Yea wrap thy head with clouds and hide thy face | B |
| As threatening to withdraw from us thy grace | B |
| O leave us not When once thou hid'st thy head | C |
| Our horizon with darkness will be spread | C |
| Tell who hath thee offended turn again | D |
| Alas too late intreaties are in vain | E |

| Our gospel has had here a summer's day | G |
| But in its sunshine we like fools did play | G |
| Or else fall out and with each other wrangle | H |
| And did instead of work not much but jangle | H |
| And if our sun seems angry hides his face | B |
| Shall it go down shall night possess this place | B |
| Let not the voice of night birds us afflict | I |
| And of our misspent summer us convict | I |
John Bunyan
