| One looks into the sun lawn and the steep | B |
| Curved slopes of hills set sharp against the sky | A |
| With tufted woods encinctured waving high | A |
| O'er vales below where broken shadows sleep | B |
| Here looking forth before the first faint cry | A |
| Of mother bird fluttering a drowsy wing | C |
| Above her brood awakes the full voiced choir | D |
| Ere yet the morning tips the hills with fire | D |
| And turns the drapery of the east to gold | E |
| My wondering eyes the opening heavens behold | E |
| Where far within deep calleth unto deep | B |
| And the whole world stands hushed and worshipping | C |
| Even thus I muse shall heaven's gates unfold | E |
| When earth beholds the coming of her King | C |

| This opens on the sunset and the sea | F |
| From its high casement never twice the same | G |
| Grand picture rises in its sea girt frame | G |
| Islets of pearl and rocks of porphyry | F |
| And cliffs of jasper touched with sunset flame | G |
| And island trees that look like Eden's grow | H |
| Palm like and slender in gradations fine | I |
| That fade and die along the horizon line | I |
| And the wide heavens become above below | H |
| A luminous sea without a boundary | F |

| Nay wistful heart at day dawn or at noon | J |
| Or midnight watch the Bridegroom cometh soon | J |
| By yonder shining path or pearly gate | K |
| The word is sure thou therefore watch and wait | K |
