Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFEF GFGFHFHF IJKJLMLM NONOPQPQ REREAFAF STSTSFSF| I can see the towers | A |
| In mind quite clear | B |
| Not many hours' | C |
| Faring from here | D |
| But how up and go | E |
| And briskly bear | F |
| Thither and know | E |
| That are not there | F |
| - | |
| Though the birds sing small | G |
| And apple and pear | F |
| On your trees by the wall | G |
| Are ripe and rare | F |
| Though none excel them | H |
| I have no care | F |
| To taste them or smell them | H |
| And you not there | F |
| - | |
| Though the College stones | I |
| Are smit with the sun | J |
| And the graduates and Dons | K |
| Who held you as one | J |
| Of brightest brow | L |
| Still think as they did | M |
| Why haunt with them now | L |
| Your candle is hid | M |

| Towards the river | N |
| A pealing swells | O |
| They cost me a quiver | N |
| Those prayerful bells | O |
| How go to God | P |
| Who can reprove | Q |
| With so heavy a rod | P |
| As your swift remove | Q |
| - | |
| The chorded keys | R |
| Wait all in a row | E |
| And the bellows wheeze | R |
| As long ago | E |
| And the psalter lingers | A |
| And organist's chair | F |
| But where are your fingers | A |
| That once wagged there | F |
| - | |
| Shall I then seek | S |
| That desert place | T |
| This or next week | S |
| And those tracks trace | T |
| That fill me with cark | S |
| And cloy nowhere | F |
| Being movement or mark | S |
| Of you now there | F |
