| O CITY lapped in sun and Sabbath rest | B |
| With happy face of plenteous ease possessed | B |
| Have you no doubts that whisper dreams that moan | A |
| Disquietude to stir your slumbering breast | B |
| Think you the sins of other climes are gone | A |
| The harlot's curse rings in your streets the groan | A |
| Of out worn men the stabbed and plundered slaves | C |
| Of ever growing Greed these are your own | A |
| O'er you shall sweep the fiery hell that craves | C |
| For quenchment the bright blood of human waves | C |
| For you if you repent not shall atone | A |
| For Greed's dark death holes with War's swarming graves | C |
