Rhyme Scheme: A BCDC EFEF GHGH II| On Certain of the Bolsheviki Idealists | A |
| - | |
| With half the force and thought you waste in rage | B |
| Over your neighbor's house or heart of stone | C |
| You might have built your own new heritage | D |
| O fools have you no hands then of your own | C |
| - | |
| Where is your pride Is this your answer still | E |
| This the red flag that burns above our strife | F |
| This the new cry that rings from Pisgah hill | E |
| Our neighbor's money or our neighbor's life | F |
| - | |
| Be prouder Let us build that nobler state | G |
| With our own hands with our own muscle and brain | H |
| Your very victories die in hymns of hate | G |
| And your own envies are your heaviest chain | H |
| - | |
| Is there no rebel proud enough to say | I |
| We'll stand on our own feet and win the day | I |
