Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFGH IFJK LMNO PQRS OTUV WFXY| Things of great worth shall come to pass | A |
| By true foreknowledge and in fact | B |
| Names worthier than mine in fame | C |
| And words which earned me men's esteem | D |
| - | |
| Here breakers roar across the bay | E |
| Wave follows wave unchangeably | F |
| Their tracks like letters traced in sand | G |
| Erased by ebbing lines of foam | H |
| - | |
| So yet you're here at this resort | I |
| I should have found you in this hall | F |
| At five instead of vain small talk | J |
| I shared and wagging of my tongue | K |

| I would have warned you one so fair | L |
| Mature a woman brave and calm | M |
| About the death in life and bounds | N |
| No higher than the ant's low life | O |
| - | |
| Great poets through experience | P |
| Find words so simple and restrained | Q |
| That in the end they can't do more | R |
| Than wait in silence and in awe | S |
| - | |
| In faith and kinship with real life | O |
| And with the future knit as one | T |
| We're bound to find immortal words | U |
| Of unbelievable simplicity | V |
| - | |
| Yet keep them holy in your hearts | W |
| Or we shall not be spared at all | F |
| Men quickly grasp the complex schemes | X |
| When simplicity's their greater need | Y |
