Pity me not but let the world be fed | B |
Yea in my madness if I strike me dead | B |
Heed you the grass that grows upon my grave | A |

If I dare snarl between this sun and sod | C |
Whimper and clamour give me grace to own | D |
In sun and rain and fruit in season shown | D |
The shining silence of the scorn of God | C |

Thank God the stars are set beyond my power | E |
If I must travail in a night of wrath | F |
Thank God my tears will never vex a moth | G |
Nor any curse of mine cut down a flower | E |

Men say the sun was darkened yet I had | H |
Thought it beat brightly even on Calvary | I |
And He that hung upon the Torturing Tree | I |
Heard all the crickets singing and was glad | H |
