| Who formed our country's laws | B |
| And not for the bravest hearted | A |
| Who died in freedom's cause | C |
| And not for some living hero | D |
| To whom all bend the knee | E |
| My muse would raise her song of praise | F |
| But for the man to be | E |
| - | |
| For out of the strife which woman | G |
| Is passing through to day | H |
| A man that is more than human | G |
| Shall yet be born I say | H |
| A man in whose pure spirit | I |
| No dross of self will lurk | J |

| A man with godlike power | M |

| Shall triumph through this man | N |
| - | |
| I know he is coming coming | P |
| To help to guide to save | Q |
| Though I hear no martial drumming | P |
| And see no flags that wave | Q |
| But the great soul travail of woman | G |
| And the bold free thought unfurled | R |
| Are heralds that say he is on the way | H |
| The coming man of the world | R |
| - | |
| Mourn not for vanished ages | S |
| With their great heroic men | T |
| Who dwell in history's pages | S |
| And live in the poet's pen | T |
| For the grandest times are before us | U |
| And the world is yet to see | E |
| The noblest worth of this old earth | V |
| In the men that are to be | E |
