Rhyme Scheme: AABBCBCDEDEFEGFEG HHIIJIJHAHAKLMKLM AAMMNMNOAOCPCCP| Crowds Crowds Crowds | A |
| Suddenly here as if come from the clouds | A |
| That faded away as they came | B |
| Mad acres of people aflame | B |
| With thirst for a morsel of land | C |
| Wild hunters of fortune whose game | B |
| Is ever escaping the hand | C |
| Vast countless uncountable throngs | D |
| With restless unrestable feet | E |
| That hurry the ways full of agonized wrongs | D |
| For the conquest of happiness sweet | E |
| Wild seas of ambition whose waves of desire | F |
| On their obstacles mighty continually beat | E |
| Where neither the shore nor the ocean is fixed | G |
| Like thunderous songs of a choir | F |
| Whose murmurs in music repeat | E |
| And confusion and chaos are terribly mingled and mixed | G |
| - | |
| Dust Dust Dust | H |
| Borne in the arms of the gathering gust | H |
| And whirled on the wings of the wind | I |
| The eyes feel the blight of the blind | I |
| And horror comes into the heart | J |
| For nature is far more unkind | I |
| Than the thousands that struggle apart | J |
| Dark wild inescapable dust | H |
| In fiercest untamable clouds | A |
| That men into misery helplessly thrust | H |
| And bury in agony shrouds | A |
| A simoom of sorrow whose pestilent breath | K |
| To the strong and the weak to the young and the old | L |
| Brings despair that is reckless of possible gain | M |
| And the awfullest anguish of death | K |
| Till the soul in its rage uncontrolled | L |
| Droops low in the horrible sickness and sorrow of pain | M |
| - | |
| But out from the clouds | A |
| Out from the agonized dust that enshrouds | A |
| True kings shall arise who shall reign | M |
| In homes on the populous plain | M |
| Great cities shall gather and grow | N |
| In glories that never shall wane | M |
| Far over the valleys below | N |
| With merry yet measureless might | O |
| They conquer the waste with the gladness that brings | A |
| To the desert the newest delight | O |
| The barren shall bloom as the rose and the land | C |
| That is sleeping a wilderness wasted and wild | P |
| And dreaming to welcome its master's command | C |
| Shall leap at the touch of his hand | C |
| His voice shall obey as a child | P |
