| So far into the sky | B |
| That birds that from the valley beds | C |
| Up to the turrets fly | B |
| Climbing towards the sun can feel | D |
| The clouds go tumbling by | B |
| - | |
| But always far above the clouds | E |
| The sun is shining there | F |
| It shines for ever on those walls | G |
| And the great boughs that bear | F |
| Harvests of never fading fruit | H |
| Are golden everywhere | F |
| - | |
| Who journeys to that castled crest | I |
| Finds with his journey done | J |
| All ages and all colours in | K |
| Cascades of light that run | J |
| Over the broad weirs of the air | F |
| For ever from the sun | J |
| - | |
| Two things are silver flower of plum | L |
| When April yet is cold | M |
| And willowed floods that of the moon | N |
| Quiet leases hold | M |
| That castle in the sky alone | O |
| Of living things is gold | M |
| - | |
| Between unfathomable blue | P |
| And the bright belts of green | Q |
| Midway the plains of heaven and earth | R |
| Rock borne it stands between | Q |
| Woods and the sky a golden world | S |
| Where only gold is seen | Q |
| - | |
| Old carvers in the stone have cut | T |
| Forests and wraths and herds | U |
| And these are gold the dials tell | V |
| The sun in golden words | U |
| The very jackdaws from the towers | W |
| Wheeling are golden birds | U |
| - | |
| The minting of the sun is on | X |
| The gravel everywhere | F |
| The yellow walls are fleeces washed | Y |
| In pools of sunny air | F |
| That coming to that castle place | Z |
| All men are Jasons there | F |
| - | |
| Trancelike to stand upon that hill | A |
| When the deep summer sings | A2 |
| Gold clad gold hearted and gold voiced | B2 |
| And sings and sings and sings | A2 |
| Is as to wait a rising world | S |
| In flight of golden wings | A2 |
| - | |
| And I have walked with love that way | C2 |
| And on that golden crest | I |
| The sun was happy for my love | D2 |
| For she is golden tressed | I |
| Red gold that of all golden things | A2 |
| The great sun marks for best | I |
| - | |
| O golden castle of the sky | B |
| Hereafter gold can be | E2 |
| Only your image when the sun | J |
| Transfigured her for me | E2 |
| Till she was golden clouded Jove | D2 |
| And I her Danae | J |
| - | |
| Hereafter in the chambered night | I |
| When linked love is told | I |
| One thought shall spare to climb that hill | A |
| Into the sunbright fold | I |
| For a great summer noon when love | D2 |
| Was gold and gold and gold | I |
