| That here was your great happiness | B |
| In mine And how could I know | C |
| Your love infinite must grow | C |

| Suddenly at dawn I wake | D |
| To see the cruse of colour break | D |
| Over the East and then the gray | E |
| Creep up with light of common day | E |
| No no no again that bright | F |
| Flashing flushing flooding light | F |
| Leading on day until I ache | D |
| With love to see the dark world wake | D |

| O with such second flood your love | G |
| Painted my earth and heaven above | G |
| With such wild magnificence | B |
| As bruised my heart in every sense | B |
| In every nerve Was ever man | H |
| Fit this renewed love to sustain | I |
| - | |
| Now in these days when Autumn's leaf | J |
| Is red and gold and for a brief | J |
| Day the earth flowers ere it dies | B |
| What if Spring came with new surprise | B |
| Came ere the aspen shivered bare | K |
| Or the beech coins glittered in cold air | K |
| Before the rough wind the maple stripped | L |
| And this bare moon on bare boughs stepped | M |
| Vain thought O yet not wholly vain | I |
| Even to me Love has come again | N |
| Moving from your quick breast where he | O |
| Fluttered in his wondering infancy | O |
