| I find it the BEST of all | H |

| We rarely meet when the world is near | I |
| For the World hath a pleasing art | J |

| - | |
| But when I grow weary of mirth and glee | K |
| Of glitter glow and splendour | I |
| Like a tried old friend it comes to me | K |
| With a smile that is sad and tender | I |
| - | |
| And we walk together as two friends may | A |
| And laugh and drink God's wine | D |
| Oh a royal comrade any day | A |
| I find this Soul of mine | D |
