O World God give me Wealth the Egyptian cried	A
His prayer was granted High as heaven behold	B
Palace and Pyramid the brimming tide	A
Of lavish Nile washed all his land with gold	B
Armies of slaves toiled ant wise at his feet	C
World circling traffic roared through mart and street	C
His priests were gods his spice balmed kings enshrined	D
Set death at naught in rock ribbed charnels deep	E
Seek Pharaoh's race to day and ye shall find	D
Rust and the moth silence and dusty sleep	E
	-
O World God give me beauty cried the Greek	F
His prayer was granted All the earth became	G
Plastic and vocal to his sense each peak	F
Each grove each stream quick with Promethean flame	G
Peopled the world with imaged grace and light	H
The lyre was his and his the breathing might	H
Of the immortal marble his the play	I
Of diamond pointed thought and golden tongue	J
Go seek the sun shine race ye find to day	I
A broken column and a lute unstrung	J
	-
O World God give me Power the Roman cried	A
His prayer was granted The vast world was chained	K
A captive to the chariot of his pride	A
The blood of myriad provinces was drained	K
To feed that fierce insatiable red heart	L
Invulnerably bulwarked every part	L
With serried legions and with close meshed Code	M
Within the burrowing worm had gnawed its home	N
A roofless ruin stands where once abode	M
The imperial race of everlasting Rome	N
	-
O Godhead give me Truth the Hebrew cried	A
His prayer was granted he became the slave	O
Of the Idea a pilgrim far and wide	A
Cursed hated spurned and scourged with none to save	O
The Pharaohs knew him and when Greece beheld	A
His wisdom wore the hoary crown of Eld	A
Beauty he hath forsworn and wealth and power	P
Seek him to day and find in every land	A
No fire consumes him neither floods devour	P
Immortal through the lamp within his hand	A
