Rhyme Scheme: ABCDDCEFCCCCCGHIJJKK CLL| Here the flame that was ash shrine that was void | A |
| lost in the haunted wood | B |
| I have tended and loved year upon year I in the solitude | C |
| Waiting quiet and glad eyed in the dark knowing that once a gleam | D |
| Glowed and went through the wood Still I abode strong in a golden dream | D |
| Unrecaptured | C |
| For I I that had faith knew that a face would glance | E |
| One day white in the dim woods and a voice call and a radiance | F |
| Fill the grove and the fire suddenly leap and in the heart of it | C |
| End of labouring you Therefore I kept ready the altar lit | C |
| The flame burning apart | C |
| Face of my dreams vainly in vision white | C |
| Gleaming down to me lo hopeless I rise now For about midnight | C |
| Whispers grew through the wood suddenly strange cries in the boughs above | G |
| Grated cries like a laugh Silent and black then through the sacred grove | H |
| Great birds flew as a dream troubling the leaves passing at length | I |
| I knew | J |
| Long expected and long loved that afar God of the dim wood you | J |
| Somewhere lay as a child sleeping a child suddenly reft from mirth | K |
| White and wonderful yet white in your youth stretched upon foreign earth | K |
| God immortal and dead | C |
| Therefore I go never to rest or win | L |
| Peace and worship of you more and the dumb wood and the shrine therein | L |
