Rhyme Scheme: ABACCBA DEDFFBA GHIJJBA AKALLBA MNOMPQR| Let me not see your grief | A |
| O let not any see | B |
| That grief | A |
| Nor how your heart still rocks | C |
| Like a temple with long earthquake shocks | C |
| Let me not see | B |
| Your grief | A |
| - | |
| These eyes have seen such wrong | D |
| Yet remained cold | E |
| Ills grown strong | D |
| Corruption's many headed worm | F |
| Destroying feet that moved so firm | F |
| Shall these eyes see | B |
| Your grief | A |
| - | |
| And that black worm has crawled | G |
| Into the brain | H |
| Where thought had walked | I |
| Nobly and love and honour moved as one | J |
| And brave things bravely were begun | J |
| Now can thought see | B |
| Unabashed your grief | A |
| - | |
| Into that brain your grief | A |
| Has run like cleansing fire | K |
| Your grief | A |
| Through these unfaithful eyes has leapt | L |
| And touched honour where it lightly slept | L |
| Now when I see | B |
| In memory your grief | A |
| - | |
| There is no thought that's not | M |
| Yours yours | N |
| No love that sleeps | O |
| No spiritual door that opens not | M |
| In the green quiet village of thought | P |
| Shining with light | Q |
| And silent to your silence | R |
