Rhyme Scheme: ABBABCDDCDEFFEFGHHGH IJJKJLMMLM| To weed the Garden of the Mind | A |
| Of all rank growths of doubt and sin | B |
| And let faith's flowers thrive and win | B |
| To blossom and through faith to find | A |
| That lilies too can toil and spin | B |
| And roses work for good and right | C |
| That even the frailest flower that fills | D |
| A serious purpose as God wills | D |
| Is all man needs to give him light | C |
| Is all he needs for all his ills | D |
| Here is a Garden gone to flowers | E |
| While one beside it runs to weeds | F |
| Yet both were sown with similar seeds | F |
| What was it Did the World or Hours | E |
| Bring forth according to their needs | F |
| Or was it that the Gardener | G |
| Neglected one or did not care | H |
| What growths matured to slay and snare | H |
| Thinking whatever might occur | G |
| Labour perhaps would manage there | H |
| But Labour looked and took his ease | I |
| Saying To morrow I will do | J |
| Will weed my Garden And in view | J |
| Of all that work sat down at peace | K |
| Waiting for something to ensue | J |
| Whose fault The Gardener's Haply no | L |
| He sowed with fairest flowers the soil | M |
| And yet whence came the weeds that spoil | M |
| From Heaven brought by winds that blow | L |
| God give us all the gift to toil | M |
