| And the days that die into the sea | H |
| Then up and be brave with thy sorrow | I |
| Like a man with his face to the blast | J |
| Not from hope of the joys of to morrow | I |
| Nor rest when the warfare is past | J |

| That men may take heart by the way | L |
| Till the heavens break forth with the song | K |
| That will herald eternal day | L |
