| To you whose souls have died | H |
| Cursing a fair false face | I |
| And the red warm lips that lied | H |
| Loved with a boyish love | J |
| With a love that was pure and true | K |

| Out on the barren tramp | T |
| Pacing it up and down | S |
| Alone by the listening camp | T |
| Crouched in your agony | C |
| Hiding your eyes with your hand | F |
| I had the ball at my feet | N |
| Brother I understand | F |
| - | |
| There is a light for all | U |
| Hold up your head and live | V |
| Forgive the woman who wronged | W |
| And the dead girl will forgive | X |
| Brood not but work for good | Y |
| Work in the world of men | Z |

| And rose from the depths again | Z |
| There shall be peace for you | K |
| Sinners who win the land | F |
| I would fight upward too | K |
| Brother you ll take my hand | F |
