Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEAFGHIJKLMNOPPP| Hope is a tattered flag and a dream of time | A |
| Hope is a heartspun word the rainbow the shadblow in white | B |
| The evening star inviolable over the coal mines | C |
| The shimmer of northern lights across a bitter winter night | B |
| The blue hills beyond the smoke of the steel works | D |
| The birds who go on singing to their mates in peace war peace | E |
| The ten cent crocus bulb blooming in a used car salesroom | A |

| The broadcast of strings from Japan bells from Moscow | K |
| Of the voice of the prime minister of Sweden carried | L |
| Across the sea in behalf of a world family of nations | M |
| And children singing chorals of the Christ child | N |
| And Bach being broadcast from Bethlehem Pennsylvania | O |
| And tall skyscrapers practically empty of tenants | P |
| And the hands of strong men groping for handholds | P |
| And the Salvation Army singing God loves us | P |
