Rhyme Scheme: ABABAC AAAAAA DADADA| TEACH me the secret of thy loveliness | A |
| That being made wise I may aspire to be | B |
| As beautiful in thought and so express | A |
| Immortal truths to earth's mortality | B |
| Though to my soul ability be less | A |
| Than 't is to thee O sweet anemone | C |
| - | |
| Teach me the secret of thy innocence | A |
| That in simplicity I may grow wise | A |
| Asking from Art no other recompense | A |
| Than the approval of her own just eyes | A |
| So may I rise to some fair eminence | A |
| Though less than thine O cousin of the skies | A |
| - | |
| Teach me these things through whose high knowledge I | D |
| When Death hath poured oblivion through my veins | A |
| And brought me home as all are brought to lie | D |
| In that vast house common to serfs and Thanes | A |
| I shall not die I shall not utterly die | D |
| For beauty born of beauty that remains | A |
