| Reflected the sunrise above | B |
| I set forth with a heart full of courage and mirth | A |
| To seek for the Kingdom of Love | B |
| I asked of a Poet I met on the way | C |
| Which cross road would lead me aright | D |
| And he said Follow me and not long you shall see | E |
| Its glittering turrets of light | D |
| - | |
| And soon in the distance a city shone fair | F |
| Look yonder he said how it gleams | G |
| But alas for the hopes that were doomed to despair | F |
| It was only the Kingdom of Dreams | G |
| Then the next man I asked was a gay Cavalier | H |
| And he said Follow me follow me | E |
| And with laughter and song we went speeding along | I |
| By the shores of Life's beautiful sea | E |
| - | |
| Then we came to a valley more tropical far | J |
| Than the wonderful vale of Cashmere | H |
| And I saw from a bower a face like a flower | K |
| Smile out on the gay Cavalier | H |

| Here love and delight are intense | M |
| But alas and alas for the hopes of my soul | L |
| It was only the Kingdom of Sense | M |

| As I journeyed more slowly I met on the road | D |
| A coach with retainers behind | D |
| And they said Follow me for our Lady's abode | D |
| Belongs in that realm you will find | D |
| 'Twas a grand dame of fashion a newly made bride | D |
| I followed encouraged and bold | D |
| But my hopes died away like the last gleams of day | D |
| For we came to the Kingdom of Gold | D |
| - | |
| At the door of a cottage I asked a fair maid | D |
| I have heard of that realm she replied | D |
| But my feet never roam from the Kingdom of Home | N |
| So I know not the way and she sighed | D |
| I looked on the cottage how restful it seemed | D |
| And the maid was as fair as a dove | B |
| Great light glorified my soul as I cried | D |
| Why home is the 'Kingdom of Love ' | - |
