| By all thy dower of lights and fires | A |
| By all the eagle in thee all the dove | B |
| By all thy lives and deaths of love | B |
| By thy large draughts of intellectual day | C |
| And by thy thirsts of love more large than they | C |
| By all thy brim fill'd bowls of fierce desire | D |
| By thy last morning's draught of liquid fire | D |
| By the full kingdom of that final kiss | E |
| That seized thy parting soul and seal'd thee His | F |
| By all the Heav'n thou hast in Him | G |
| Fair sister of the seraphim | G |
| By all of Him we have in thee | H |

| Let me so read thy life that I | I |
| Unto all life of mine may die | I |
