Rhyme Scheme: ABBCDDEE FGGFHHEE EIIEEEDD JKKKJEELL| From the darksome earth mine lifted | A |
| From the clay and from the rock | B |
| Loosen'd out with many a shock | B |
| Slowly from the clay dross sifted | C |
| Molten in the fire bright burning | D |
| Ever purer whiter turning | D |
| Ho the anvil cool and steady | E |
| For the soften'd rod make ready | E |
| - | |
| Blow thou wind upon the flame | F |
| Raise it ever higher hotter | G |
| Till like clay before the potter | G |
| Soft become the iron frame | F |
| Bending at the worker's will | H |
| All his purpose to fulfil | H |
| Ho the fire purged rod is ready | E |
| For the anvil cool and steady | E |
| - | |
| At each stroke the sparks fly brightly | E |
| Upward from the glowing mass | I |
| Hail the stroke that makes them pass | I |
| Fall it heavy fall it lightly | E |
| Now the stubborn strength bends humbly | E |
| To the Master yielding dumbly | E |
| From the metal purged and glowing | D |
| Forms of freest grace are flowing | D |
| - | |
| Wield thine hammer well strong arm | J |
| Strength to Beauty wedded brings | K |
| Glory out of rudest things | K |
| Facts from mere imaginings | K |
| Strike from steel its hidden charm | J |
| Little reck the rocks the blow | E |
| That makes the living water flow | E |
| Little recks man's soul the rod | L |
| That scourges it through tears to God | L |
