Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GCGC HIHI| Lord of all Life When my hours are done | A |
| Take me and make me anew | B |
| And give me back to the earth and the sun | A |
| And the sky's unlimited blue | B |
| - | |
| The nightingale sings in an ecstasy | C |
| To the moonlit April night | D |
| But my songs are locked in the heart of me | C |
| Like birds that may not take flight | D |
| - | |
| The little purple winged swallows that fly | E |
| Through waves of the upper air | F |
| Have a sweeter liberty Lord than I | E |
| Who may not follow them there | F |
| - | |
| Pavilions of sunshine tents of the rain | G |
| For these the wild and the free | C |
| And for us walled garden and window pane | G |
| And bolt and staple and key | C |
| - | |
| We are worn with wisdom that never brings | H |
| Peace to the world and its woe | I |
| For a space with Thy joyous lesser things | H |
| Teach me the faith I would know | I |
