| Flittering in the newspapers and drinking beer with | B |
| lawyers | C |
| And amid the educated men of the clubs you have been | D |
| getting an earful of speech from trained tongues | E |
| Take an earful from me once go with me on a hike | F |
| Along sand stretches on the great inland sea here | G |
| And while the eastern breeze blows on us and the | H |

| Of the lake waves on the breakwater breaks with an ever | J |
| fresh monotone | K |
| Let us ask ourselves What is truth what do you or I | L |

| How much do the wisest of the world's men know about | N |
| where the massed human procession is going | O |

| You have heard the mob laughed at | P |
| I ask you Is not the mob rough as the mountains are | Q |
| rough | R |
| And all things human rise from the mob and relapse and | S |
| rise again as rain to the sea | T |
