Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDEDCD| Thou two faced year Mother of Change and Fate | A |
| Didst weep when Spain cast forth with flaming sword | B |
| The children of the prophets of the Lord | B |
| Prince priest and people spurned by zealot hate | A |
| Hounded from sea to sea from state to state | A |
| The West refused them and the East abhorred | B |
| No anchorage the known world could afford | B |
| Close locked was every port barred every gate | A |
| Then smiling thou unveil'dst O two faced year | C |
| A virgin world where doors of sunset part | D |
| Saying Ho all who weary enter here | E |
| There falls each ancient barrier that the art | D |
| Of race or creed or rank devised to rear | C |
| Grim bulwarked hatred between heart and heart | D |
