| - | |
| O LIFE dear life with sunbeam finger touching | B |
| This poor damp brow or flying freshly by | C |
| On wings of mountain wind or tenderly | D |
| In links of visionary embraces clutching | B |
| Me from the yawning grave | E |
| Can I believe thou yet hast power to save | E |
| - | |
| I see thee O my life like phantom giant | F |
| Stand on the hill top large against the dawn | G |
| Upon the night black clouds a picture drawn | G |
| Of aspect wonderful with hope defiant | F |
| And so majestic grown | H |
| I scarce discern the image as my own | H |
| - | |
| Those mists furl off and through the vale resplendent | F |
| I see the pathway of my years prolong | I |
| Not without labor yet for labor strong | I |
| Not without pain but pain whose touch transcendent | F |
| By love's divinest laws | J |
| Heart unto heart and all hearts upwards draws | J |
| - | |
| O life O love your diverse tones bewildering | B |
| Make silence like two meeting waves of sound | K |
| I dream of wifely white arms lisp of children | L |
| Never of ended wars | M |
| Save kisses scaling honorable scars | N |
| - | |
| No more of battles Save the combat glorious | O |
| To which all earth and heaven may witness stand | P |
| The sword of the Spirit taking in my hand | P |
| I shall go forth since in new fields victorious | O |
| The King yet grants that I | C |
| His servant live or His good soldier die | C |
