| The bronze General Grant riding a bronze horse in Lincoln | B |
| Park | C |
| Shrivels in the sun by day when the motor cars whirr | D |
| by in long processions going somewhere to keep appointment | E |
| for dinner and matinees and buying and selling | F |
| Though in the dusk and nightfall when high waves are piling | F |
| On the slabs of the promenade along the lake shore near by | A |
| I have seen the general dare the combers come closer | D |
| And make to ride his bronze horse out into the hoofs | G |
| and guns of the storm | H |

| I cross Lincoln Park on a winter night when the snow | I |
| is falling | F |
| Lincoln in bronze stands among the white lines of snow | I |
| his bronze forehead meeting soft echoes of the newsies | J |
| crying forty thousand men are dead along the | K |
| Yser his bronze ears listening to the mumbled roar | D |
| of the city at his bronze feet | L |
| A lithe Indian on a bronze pony Shakespeare seated with | M |
| long legs in bronze Garibaldi in a bronze cape they | N |
| hold places in the cold lonely snow to night on their | D |
| pedestals and so they will hold them past midnight | O |
| and into the dawn | P |
