Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEEE FDBD EBDB GHIH| Shabby house wall | A |
| Of bricks once yellow | B |
| Dingied with city grime | C |
| Dusty and sallow | B |

| The high sun glorying | D |
| In clear gold edges | E |
| Your crumbled mortar's | E |
| Luminous ledges | E |

| You glow with a touch | F |
| From the pure sky | D |
| And suddenly all | B |
| Is new to the eye | D |

| I see you as labour's | E |
| Rough fruit and homely | B |
| Raised morning by morning | D |
| To an order comely | B |

| Labour of hands long dead | G |
| Living when all's at rest | H |
| After the dark has come | I |
| And the light gone West | H |
