Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDDEEFFGGHHIIAA| Must you Carnegie evermore explain | A |
| Your worth and all the reasons give again | B |
| Why black and red are similarly white | C |
| And you and God identically right | C |
| Still must our ears without redress submit | D |
| To hear you play the solemn hypocrite | D |
| Walking in spirit some high moral level | E |

| Bear me ye whirlwinds to some favored spot | G |
| Some mountain pinnacle that sleeps in air | H |
| So delicately mercifully rare | H |
| That when the fellow climbs that giddy hill | I |
| As for my sins I know at last he will | I |
| To utter twaddle in that void inane | A |
| His soundless organ he will play in vain | A |
