| The mighty generations dead | A |
| And all that yet shall be | G |

| Are Past and Future then a breath | H |
| That one vast Present makes its own | I |
| The Angel Birth the Shadow Death | H |
| Each guards a world unknown | I |

| The green earth swings upon her way | B |
| Where are the voices of the dead | A |
| The hearts of yesterday | B |
