Rhyme Scheme: ABABACADEFCGHIHIIJIJ IKIKLMLMCNCNCOCP| Youth's gay springtime scarcely knowing | A |
| Went I forth the world to roam | B |
| And the dance of youth the glowing | A |
| Left I in my father's home | B |
| Of my birthright glad believing | A |
| Of my world gear took I none | C |
| Careless as an infant cleaving | A |
| To my pilgrim staff alone | D |
| For I placed my mighty hope in | E |
| Dim and holy words of faith | F |
| Wander forth the way is open | C |
| Ever on the upward path | G |
| Till thou gain the golden portal | H |
| Till its gates unclose to thee | I |
| There the earthly and the mortal | H |
| Deathless and divine shall be | I |
| Night on morning stole on stealeth | I |
| Never never stand I still | J |
| And the future yet concealeth | I |
| What I seek and what I will | J |
| Mount on mount arose before me | I |
| Torrents hemmed me every side | K |
| But I built a bridge that bore me | I |
| O'er the roaring tempest tide | K |
| Towards the east I reached a river | L |
| On its shores I did not rest | M |
| Faith from danger can deliver | L |
| And I trusted to its breast | M |
| Drifted in the whirling motion | C |
| Seas themselves around me roll | N |
| Wide and wider spreads the ocean | C |
| Far and farther flies the goal | N |
| While I live is never given | C |
| Bridge or wave the goal to near | O |
| Earth will never meet the heaven | C |
| Never can the there be here | P |
