Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEFGGHIJJKKLM NNOOPQRRIISSTTUUOOVV WWQQXXSSYYZZ| Shall we wake one morn of spring | A |
| Glad at heart of everything | A |
| Yet pensive with the thought of eve | B |
| Then the white house shall we leave | B |
| Pass the wind flowers and the bays | C |
| Through the garth and go our ways | C |
| Wandering down among the meads | D |
| Till our very joyance needs | D |
| Rest at last till we shall come | E |
| To that Sun god s lonely home | F |
| Lonely on the hill side grey | G |
| Whence the sheep have gone away | G |
| Lonely till the feast time is | H |
| When with prayer and praise of bliss | I |
| Thither comes the country side | J |
| There awhile shall we abide | J |
| Sitting low down in the porch | K |
| By that image with the torch | K |
| Thy one white hand laid upon | L |
| The black pillar that was won | M |
| From the far off Indian mine | N |
| And my hand nigh touching thine | N |
| But not touching and thy gown | O |
| Fair with spring flowers cast adown | O |
| From thy bosom and thy brow | P |
| There the south west wind shall blow | Q |
| Through thine hair to reach my cheek | R |
| As thou sittest nor mayst speak | R |
| Nor mayst move the hand I kiss | I |
| For the very depth of bliss | I |
| Nay nor turn thine eyes to me | S |
| Then desire of the great sea | S |
| Nigh enow but all unheard | T |
| In the hearts of us is stirred | T |
| And we rise we twain at last | U |
| And the daffodils downcast | U |
| Feel thy feet and we are gone | O |
| From the lonely Sun Crowned one | O |
| Then the meads fade at our back | V |
| And the spring day gins to lack | V |
| That fresh hope that once it had | W |
| But we twain grow yet more glad | W |
| And apart no more may go | Q |
| When the grassy slope and low | Q |
| Dieth in the shingly sand | X |
| Then we wander hand in hand | X |
| By the edges of the sea | S |
| And I weary more for thee | S |
| Than if far apart we were | Y |
| With a space of desert drear | Y |
| Twixt thy lips and mine O love | Z |
| Ah my joy my joy thereof | Z |
