Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDD EEFF GGHHIGJJ| What time the meanest brick and stone | A |
| Take on a beauty not their own | A |
| And past the flaw of builded wood | B |
| Shines the intention whole and good | B |
| And all the little homes of man | C |
| Rise to a dimmer nobler span | C |
| When colour's absence gives escape | D |
| To the deeper spirit of the shape | D |

| Then earth's great architecture swells | E |
| Among her mountains and her fells | E |
| Under the moon to amplitude | F |
| Massive and primitive and rude | F |
| - | |
| Then do the clouds like silver flags | G |
| Stream out above the tattered crags | G |
| And black and silver all the coast | H |
| Marshalls its hunched and rocky host | H |
| And headlands striding sombrely | I |
| Buttress the land against the sea | G |
| The darkened land the brightening wave | J |
| And moonlight slants through Merlin's cave | J |
