| One night at home to be father and neighbor | A |
| Just a few hours for his own bit of leisure | A |
| All the rest's gazing at other men's pleasure | A |
| All the rest's toiling and yet he rejoices | I |
| All the world is and that men do he voices | I |
| Who knows a calling more glorious than | D |
| The day by day work of the newspaper man | D |
