| By me unguessed by thee not even dreamed | H |
| A tree has blossomed in a night that seemed | H |
| Of stubborn barren wood For thou hast sown | G |

| This seed of beauty in a ground of truth | I |
| Humbly I dedicate myself and yet | J |
| I tremble with a sudden fear to set | J |
| New music ringing through my fading youth | I |
