| Of better days hitherward pacing | B |
| To a happy a glorious golden goal | A |
| See them go running and chasing | B |
| The world grows old and to youth returns | C |
| But still for the Better man's bosom burns | C |

| It is Hope leads him into life and its light | D |
| She haunts the little one merry | E |

| On the grave itself he planteth Hope | F |

| She was never begotten in Folly's brain | G |
| An empty illusion to flatter | H |
| In the Heart she cries aloud and plain | G |
| We are born to something better | H |
| And that which the inner voice doth say | I |
| The hoping spirit will not betray | I |
