| 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 |

| 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 |
