Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF| Some are the brothers of all humankind | A |

| With enmity for man's unguarded fate | B |

| For some there is a music all day long | C |
| Like flutes in Paradise they are so glad | D |

| Of curses and the cries of men gone mad | D |

| Some say 't were better back to chaos hurled | F |
| And so 't is what we are that makes for us | E |
