| Man hath soared to the skies | B |
| Mountain and hill are clay to his will | C |
| Skillful he is and wise | B |
| Sea to sea hath he wedded | D |
| Canceled the chasm of space | E |
| Given defeat to cold and heat | F |
| Splendour is his and grace | E |

| Heaven is thrall to his wits | H |
| And so in the golden future | J |
| He who hath dulled the storm | K |
| As said above may make a glove | L |
| That'll keep my fingers warm | K |
