Rhyme Scheme: ABBCADEEDFAAFAGHGAIA AJ| I saw in dream the spirits unbegot | A |
| Veiled floating phantoms lost in twilight space | B |
| For one the hour had struck he paused the place | B |
| Rang with an awful Voice | C |
| Soul choose thy lot | A |
| Two paths are offered that in velvet flower | D |
| Slopes easily to every earthly prize | E |
| Follow the multitude and bind thine eyes | E |
| Thou and thy sons' sons shall have peace with power | D |

| Choose now for all the ages | H |
| Then I saw | G |
| The unveiled spirit grown divinely bright | A |
| Choose the grim path He turned I knew full well | I |
| The pale great martyr forehead shadowy curled | A |
| The glowing eyes that had renounced the world | A |
| Disgraced despised immortal Israel | J |
