Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFGFHIJI| What can these dead bones live whose sap is dried | A |
| By twenty scorching centuries of wrong | B |
| Is this the House of Israel whose pride | A |
| Is as a tale that's told an ancient song | B |
| Are these ignoble relics all that live | C |
| Of psalmist priest and prophet Can the breath | D |
| Of very heaven bid these Bones revive | C |
| Open the graves and clothe the ribs of death | D |
| - | |
| Yea Prophesy the Lord hath said Again | E |
| Say to the wind Come forth and breathe afresh | F |
| Even that they may live upon these slain | G |
| And bone to bone shall leap and flesh to flesh | F |
| The Spirit is not dead proclaim the word | H |
| Where lay dead bones a host of armed men stand | I |
| I ope your graves my people saith the Lord | J |
| And I shall place you living in your land | I |
