| I gazed upon thee desolate and heard | B |
| Thine anguished cry when fell the iron gin | C |
| That all but broke thy soul yet gave thy word | B |
| The strength to ask forgiveness of thy sin | C |
| - | |
| I saw thee fleeing from the cruel light | D |
| Of thine own fame I saw thee hide thy face | E |
| In alien dust to cover up the blight | D |
| Upon thy brow that time may yet erase | E |

| I knew thy creed although thy lips were mute | F |
| I knew the gods thou didst not dare to own | G |
| I knew the Upas poison at the root | F |
| Of thy last flower of song in prison blown | G |
| - | |
| And out of all thy woe there came to me | H |
| This miracle of dogma like a cry | I |
| No law but freedom for the vagrant bee | H |
| No love but summer for the butterfly | I |
