Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFEGBHBIJKJLMFN OPNPAQRQ| THE best of life what is it but white moments | A |
| Those swift illuminations when we see | B |
| The flying shadows on the fragrant meadows | C |
| As God beholds them from eternity | B |
| White moments when the bliss of being worships | D |
| And fear and shame are heretics that burn | E |
| In holy fire of exquisite desire | F |
| For love's surrender and for love's return | E |
| White moments when a Power above the artist | G |
| Catches his plodding chisel sets it free | B |
| And from each urgent stroke there springs emergent | H |
| The wayward grace that laughs at industry | B |
| White moments when the drowsing soul sense muffled | I |
| Is stung awake by some keen arrow flight | J |
| And rends the bestial claiming its celestial | K |
| Succession in the lineage of light | J |
| White moments when the spirit long confronted | L |
| By all the bitter formul of fate | M |
| Inveterate romancer finds its answer | F |
| In some mysterious faith inviolate | N |
| White moments when the silence steals on sorrow | O |
| And in that hush the heart becomes aware | P |
| Of wings that brood it visions that seclude it | N |
| Forevermore from folly fear and care | P |
| The best of life what is it but white moments | A |
| Freedoms that break the chain and fling the load | Q |
| Irradiations ardors consecrations | R |
| The starry shrines along our pilgrim road | Q |
