Rhyme Scheme: ABCABDD EFFDDE GHHIJJG KLKIL| Age after age the fruit of knowledge falls | A |
| To ashes on men's lips | B |
| Love fails faith sickens like a dying tree | C |
| Life sheds its dreams that no new spring recalls | A |
| The longed for ships | B |
| Come empty home or founder on the deep | D |
| And eyes first lose their tears and then their sleep | D |
| - | |
| So weary a world it lies forlorn of day | E |
| And yet not wholly dark | F |
| Since evermore some soul that missed the mark | F |
| Calls back to those agrope | D |
| In the mad maze of hope | D |
| Courage my brothers I have found the way | E |
| - | |
| The day is lost What then | G |
| What though the straggling rear guard of the fight | H |
| Be whelmed in fear and night | H |
| And the flying scouts proclaim | I |
| That death has gripped the van | J |
| Ever the heart of man | J |
| Cheers on the hearts of men | G |
| - | |
| It hurts not dying cried the Roman wife | K |
| And one by one | L |
| The leaders in the strife | K |
| Fall on the blade of failure and exclaim | I |
| The day is won | L |
