Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD CEBEFGFG| OH God if I do my duty | A |
| And walk in the thorny way | B |
| Will you pay me with heavens of beauty | A |
| Millions of lives away | B |
| Will you give me the music of heaven | C |
| And the joy that none understands | D |
| In place of what life would have given | C |
| If I had held out my hands | D |
| - | |
| I have lived in a narrow prison | C |
| I have writhed 'neath a bitter creed | E |
| And I dare to say that no heaven can pay | B |
| The renounced dream and deed | E |
| But when my life's portal closes | F |
| If you have no heaven to spare | G |
| God give me a garden of roses | F |
| And some one to walk with there | G |
