Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCADDDDDD| Where long and deeply hath been fixed the root | A |
| In the blest soil of gospel truth the Tree | B |
| Blighted or scathed tho' many branches be | B |
| Put forth to wither many a hopeful shoot | A |
| Can never cease to bear celestial fruit | A |
| Witness the Church that oft times with effect | C |
| Dear to the saints strives earnestly to eject | C |
| Her bane her vital energies recruit | A |
| Lamenting do not hopelessly repine | D |
| When such good work is doomed to be undone | D |
| The conquests lost that were so hardly won | D |
| All promises vouchsafed by Heaven will shine | D |
| In light confirmed while years their course shall run | D |
| Confirmed alike in progress and decline | D |
William Wordsworth
