1. Look at the stars! look, look up at the skies!
2. O look at all the fire-folk sitting in the air!
3. The bright boroughs, the circle-citadels there!
4. Down in dim woods the diamond delves! the elves'-eyes!
5. The grey lawns cold where gold, where quickgold lies!
6. Wind-beat whitebeam! airy abeles set on a flare!
7. Flake-doves sent floating forth at a farmyard scare!—
8. Ah well! it is all a purchase, all is a prize.
9.  
10. Buy then! bid then!—What?—Prayer, patience, alms, vows.
11. Look, look: a May-mess, like on orchard boughs!
12. Look! March-bloom, like on mealed-with-yellow sallows!
13. These are indeed the barn; withindoors house
14. The shocks. This piece-bright paling shuts the spouse
15. Christ home, Christ and his mother and all his hallows.
