Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCDCD EFEF BGBG HIHJBIAJBBIJ| Me that have sung and shrieked and foamed in praise of Freedom | A |
| ME do you ask to sing | B |
| Parochial pomps and waste the wail of Jubileedom | A |
| For Queen or Prince or King | B |

| Nay by the foam that fleeting oars have feathered | C |
| In Grecian seas | D |
| Nay by the winds that barques Athenian weathered | C |
| By all of these | D |
| I bid you each be mute Bards tamed and tethered | C |
| And fee'd with fees | D |

| For you the laurel smirched for you the gold too | E |
| Of Magazines | F |
| For me the Spirit of Song unbought unsold to | E |
| Pale Priests or Queens | F |

| For you the gleam of gain the fluttering cheque | B |
| Of Mr Knowles | G |
| For me to soar above the ruins and wreck | B |
| Of Snobs and Souls | G |

| When aflush with the dew of the dawn and the | H |
| Rose of the Mystical Vision | I |
| The spirit and soul of the Men of the | H |
| Future shall rise and be free | J |
| They shall hail me with hymning and harping | B |
| With eloquent Art and Elysian | I |
| The Singer who sung not but spurned them | A |
| The slaves that could sing Jubilee | J |
| With pinchbeck lyre and tongue | B |
| Praising their tyrant sung | B |
| They shall fail and shall fade in derision | I |
| As wind on the ways of the sea | J |
