| Ah not where tender play was screen d | C |
| in the light heart of leafy mirth | D |

| the veil of dreaming is withdrawn | F |
| lo our disrupt dominion | E |
| and mountains solemn in the dawn | F |

| hard paths that chase the dayspring s white | G |
| and glooms that hold the nether heat | H |
| oh strange the world upheaved from night | G |
| oh dread the life before our feet | H |
