| Paris from throats of iron silver brass | B |
| Joy thundering cannon blent with chiming bells | C |
| And martial strains the full voiced paean swells | C |
| The air is starred with flags the chanted mass | B |
| Throngs all the churches yet the broad streets swarm | D |
| With glad eyed groups who chatter laugh and pass | B |
| In holiday confusion class with class | B |
| And over all the spring the sun floods warm | D |
| In the Imperial palace that March morn | E |
| The beautiful young mother lay and smiled | F |
| For by her side just breathed the Prince her child | F |
| Heir to an empire to the purple born | E |
| Crowned with the Titan's name that stirs the heart | G |
| Like a blown clarion one more Bonaparte | G |

| Born to the purple lying stark and dead | H |
| Transfixed with poisoned spears beneath the sun | I |
| Of brazen Africa Thy grave is one | I |
| Fore fated youth on whom were visited | J |
| Follies and sins not thine whereat the world | K |
| Heartless howe'er it be will pause to sing | L |
| A dirge to breathe a sigh a wreath to fling | L |
| Of rosemary and rue with bay leaves curled | K |
| Enmeshed in toils ambitious not thine own | M |
| Immortal loved boy Prince thou tak'st thy stand | N |
| With early doomed Don Carlos hand in hand | N |
| With mild browed Arthur Geoffrey's murdered son | I |
| Louis the Dauphin lifts his thorn ringed head | H |
| And welcomes thee his brother 'mongst the dead | H |
