| Last night it was the song that was the man | A |
| But now it is the man that is the song | H |
| We do not hear him very much to day | I |
| His piercing and eternal cadence rings | J |
| Too pure for us too powerfully pure | K |
| Too lovingly triumphant and too large | L |
| But there are some that hear him and they know | M |
| That he shall sing to morrow for all men | N |
| And that all time shall listen | O |

| The master songs are ended Rather say | I |
| No songs are ended that are ever sung | P |
| And that no names are dead names When we write | Q |
| Men's letters on proud marble or on sand | F |
| We write them there forever | G |
