| To give me ease of my misery | A |
| Of my lady and me I make this rhyme | B |
| For lovers in the after time | B |

| In a golden loom deep hid away | C |
| In my secret heart where no one goes | D |
| But my lady's self and no one knows | D |
| - | |
| With bended head all day I pore | E |
| On a joyless task and yet before | E |
| My eyes all day through each weary hour | F |
| Breathes my lady's face like a dewy flower | F |
| Like rain it comes through the dusty air | G |
| Like sun on the meadows to think of her | F |
| O sweet as violets in early spring | H |
| The flower girls to the city bring | H |
| O healing bright to wintry eyes | I |
| As primrose gold 'neath northern skies | I |

| Some days there be when the loom is still | K |
| And my soul is sad as an autumn hill | K |
| But how to tell the blessed time | B |
| When my heart is one glowing prayer of rhyme | B |
| Think on the humming afternoon | L |
| Within some busy wood in June | L |
| When nettle patches drunk with the sun | M |
| Are fiery outposts of the shade | N |
| While gnats keep up a dizzy reel | O |
| And the grasshopper perched upon his blade | N |
| Loud drones his fairy threshing wheel | O |
| Hour when some poet wit might feign | P |
| The drowsy tune of the throbbing air | G |
| The weaving of the gossamer | F |
| In secret nooks of wood and lane | P |
| The gossamer silk night robes of the flowers | Q |
| Fluttered apart by amorous morning hours | Q |
| Yea as the weaving of the gossamer | F |
| If truly that the mystic golden boom | R |
| Is the strange rapture of my hidden loom | R |
| As I sit in the light of the thought of her | F |
| And it weaveth weaveth day by day | C |
| This parti coloured roundelay | O |
| Weaving for ease of misery | A |
| Weaving this rhyme of my lady and me | A |
| Weaving weaving this warp of rhyme | B |
| For lovers in the after time | B |
| - | |
| My lady lover may never be mine | S |
| In the same sweet way that thine is thine | S |
| My lady and I may never stand | T |
| By the holy altar hand in hand | T |
| My lady and I may never rest | U |
| Through the golden midnight breast to breast | U |
| Nor share long days of happy light | V |
| Sweet moving in each other's sight | V |
| Yea even must we ever miss | W |
| The honey of the chastest kiss | W |
