| It may be a d mon of pent and high emprise | C |
| That looks on my soul till my soul hides and cries | C |
| Loath to rebuke my soul and bid it arise | C |

| It may be myself as I was in another life | D |

| Deep in darkness the bulb under mould and clod | F |
| Feels the sun in the sky and pushes above the sod | F |
| Perhaps this cry in my heart is nothing but God | F |
