Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFGHI JKLMNOPQRSDATGUVWXYJ J| I step across the mystic border land | A |
| And look upon the wonder world of Art | B |
| How beautiful how beautiful its hills | C |
| And all its valleys how surpassing fair | D |
| - | |
| The winding paths that lead up to the heights | E |
| Are polished by the footsteps of the great | F |
| The mountain peaks stand very near to God | G |
| The chosen few whose feet have trod thereon | H |
| Have talked with Him and with the angels walked | I |
| - | |
| Here are no sounds of discord no profane | J |
| Or senseless gossip of unworthy things | K |
| Only the songs of chisels and of pens | L |
| Of busy brushes and ecstatic strains | M |
| Of souls surcharged with music most divine | N |
| Here is no idle sorrow no poor grief | O |
| For any day or object left behind | P |
| For time is counted precious and herein | Q |
| Is such complete abandonment of Self | R |
| That tears turn into rainbows and enhance | S |
| The beauty of the land where all is fair | D |
| Awed and afraid I cross the border land | A |
| Oh who am I that I dare enter here | T |
| Where the great artists of the world have trod | G |
| The genius crowned aristocrats of Earth | U |
| Only the singer of a little song | V |
| Yet loving Art with such a mighty love | W |
| I hold it greater to have won a place | X |
| Just on the fair land's edge to make my grave | Y |
| Than in the outer world of greed and gain | J |
| To sit upon a royal throne and reign | J |
