Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCBDD EFEFDDFGG DHDHDDHDD IJIJCKJLL MNMNOONDD DDDDPQDDD| Ye that the untrod paths have braved | A |
| With heart and brain unbound | B |
| Who ask not that your souls be saved | A |
| But that the Truth be found | B |
| Whose fiery cross is borne unseen | C |
| Whose meek brows bleeding but serene | C |
| With only thorns are crowned | B |
| Who still and steadfast stand for Right | D |
| Though none acclaim and none requite | D |
| - | |
| Who learn how little is the sum | E |
| Of all that Truth can teach | F |
| And where the serried boundaries come | E |
| That bar your utmost reach | F |
| For whom so sage no saint can find | D |
| A clue to aught that lies behind | D |
| For whom the preachers preach | F |
| Only to leave ye at the door | G |
| That opens to their knock no more | G |
| - | |
| Who listening in the trackless night | D |
| Hearing no bugle call | H |
| Still fight undaunted the good fight | D |
| And never fail or fall | H |
| Who standing on an inch of ground | D |
| Feel the Infinities around | D |
| Yet dare to face it all | H |
| And keep the life ye hold in trust | D |
| Safe from besetting moth and rust | D |
| - | |
| Life tragic mystery of Man | I |
| Strange tale of joy and grief | J |
| Chaff for the errant winds to fan | I |
| A bubble bright and brief | J |
| That floats and shines and bursts unseen | C |
| And leaves no trace where it has been | K |
| Like thistle down and leaf | J |
| That in soft airs of autumn dance | L |
| The helpless sport of Fate and Chance | L |
| - | |
| Ye who can see the case so clear | M |
| And scorn to cringe and moan | N |
| Who follow humbly without fear | M |
| The soul's behest alone | N |
| Content to suffer for the sake | O |
| Of faithful manhood and to make | O |
| A loftier stepping stone | N |
| A straighter way a smoother street | D |
| For tread of unborn children's feet | D |
| - | |
| Ye whom the children's sorrows rend | D |
| And who despise the smart | D |
| Who walk uprightly to the end | D |
| With an undoubting heart | D |
| To take the guerdon of your pain | P |
| Death with no hope to live again | Q |
| Ye have the better part | D |
| Salt of the world that keeps it sound | D |
| Kings that shall yet be throned and crowned | D |
