Rhyme Scheme: ABBAB CDDCD EFFEE GHHGH| Long have I framed weak phantasies of Thee | A |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp O Willer masked and dumb | B |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp Who makest Life become | B |
| As though by labouring all unknowingly | A |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp Like one whom reveries numb | B |

| How much of consciousness informs Thy will | C |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp Thy biddings as if blind | D |

| nbsp nbsp nbsp Thy ripening rule transcends | F |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp That listless effort tends | F |
| To grow percipient with advance of days | E |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp And with percipience mends | E |
| - | |
| For in unwonted purlieus far and nigh | G |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp At whiles or short or long | H |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp May be discerned a wrong | H |
| Dying as of self slaughter whereat I | G |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp Would raise my voice in song | H |
