Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJK LMJNOPQKRST KUJKVWVX YJZA2VV| Nay seer I do not doubt thy mystic lore | A |
| Nor question that the tenor of my life | B |
| Past present and the future is revealed | C |
| There in my horoscope I do believe | D |
| That yon dead moon compels the haughty seas | E |
| To ebb and flow and that my natal star | F |
| Stands like a stern browed sentinel in space | G |
| And challenges events nor lets one grief | H |
| Or joy or failure or success pass on | I |
| To mar or bless my earthly lot until | J |
| It proves its Karmic right to come to me | K |
| - | |
| All this I grant but more than this I know | L |
| Before the solar systems were conceived | M |
| When nothing was but the unnamable | J |
| My spirit lived an atom of the Cause | N |
| Through countless ages and in many forms | O |
| It has existed ere it entered in | P |
| This human frame to serve its little day | Q |
| Upon the earth The deathless Me of me | K |
| The spark from that great all creative fire | R |
| Is part of that eternal source called God | S |
| And mightier than the universe | T |
| - | |
| Why he | K |
| Who knows and knowing never once forgets | U |
| The pedigree divine of his own soul | J |
| Can conquer shape and govern destiny | K |
| And use vast space as twere a board for chess | V |
| With stars for pawns can change his horoscope | W |
| To suit his will turn failure to success | V |
| And from preordained sorrows harvest joy | X |
| - | |
| There is no puny planet sun or moon | Y |
| Or zodiacal sign which can control | J |
| The God in us If we bring that to bear | Z |
| Upon events we mold them to our wish | A2 |
| Tis when the infinite neath the finite gropes | V |
| That men are governed by their horoscopes | V |
