The world compelling plan was thine | E |

Rich in model and design | E |
Harvest tool and husbandry | D |
Loom and wheel and enginery | D |

And let the fair white wing'd peacemaker fly | A |
To happy havens under all the sky | A |
And mix the seasons and the golden hours | K |
Till each man find his own in all men's good | B |
And all men work in noble brotherhood | B |
Breaking their mailed fleets and armed towers | K |
And ruling by obeying Nature's powers | K |
And gathering all the fruits of earth and crown'd | B |
- | |
with all her flowers | K |
