| The distant beacons bright | B |
| The horsemen on the skyline | C |
| Are closing in to night | B |
| My brothers Oh my brothers | D |
| Lie down and rest at last | E |
| The Years of Reparation | F |
| Have rushed upon us fast | E |
| - | |
| Oh ride and ride you riders | D |
| Who rode ere I was born | G |
| While blink and blink the star dust | H |
| That blinks before the morn | G |
| And glow and glow you camp fires | D |
| And flash you beacons bright | B |
| They re riding round the wronged ones | I |
| And riding round the right | B |
| - | |
| My brothers Oh my brothers | D |
| With dried and haggard eyes | J |
| In gaol for just blows stricken | F |
| In gaol for women s lies | J |
| Lie down and pace no longer | K |
| But bathe your eyes in tears | L |
| For Years of Retribution | F |
| That shall be seven years | M |
| - | |
| Their lovers and believers | D |
| Their sweethearts sisters wives | N |
| Their daughters sons and mothers | D |
| The true friends of their lives | O |
| Hold up your heads and firmly | P |
| Look down the Crooked Seers | Q |
| For Years of Justifying | R |
| That shall be seven years | M |
| - | |
| Inventors artists poets | S |
| Exiled or driven mad | T |
| Sweated sneered at slandered | U |
| And driven to the bad | T |
| Take up the tools of genius | V |
| Freed from all paltry fears | M |
| For Seasons of Repayment | W |
| That shall be seven years | M |
| - | |
| Oh ride and ride you riders | D |
| That rode when I was born | G |
| Against a ghastly skyline | C |
| Beneath a storm cloud torn | G |
| I watched you through my childhood | X |
| I saw the whip and spur | K |
| No spy s glass could detect you | Y |
| But I knew what you were | K |
| - | |
| Oh ride and ride my riders | D |
| And flash my birth star bright | B |
| The youth I never dreamed of | Z |
| Is with me here to night | B |
| The hearing strength and vision | F |
| The will to do and dare | A2 |
| The love I ever longed for | B2 |
| Is round me everywhere | A2 |
| - | |
| Dead Friendship ah Dead Friendship | C2 |
| Rise up and breathe again | D2 |
| I ride my rounds re honoured | B |
| Along the ranks of men | D2 |
| My old mates Oh my old mates | E2 |
| Who fought the cur and brute | B |
| My horsemen from the skyline | C |
| Are drawn up to salute | B |
| - | |
| My Dead Love Oh my Dead Love | Z |
| Who died for love of me | P |
| Who sleeps amongst the poets | S |
| Since five years sobbed the sea | P |
| Since five years blackened honour | A2 |
| And cramped and warped the pen | D2 |
| There s glory to your spirit | B |
| The laurel leafs again | D2 |
| - | |
| My enemies the causeless | P |
| Of vicious mysteries | P |
| Or mad with jealous madness | P |
| Or for the crawler s fees | P |
| Fear ye my Cypher Seven | F |
| For seven years to run | F |
| The number set by Heaven | F |
| When Heaven s will is done | F |
| - | |
| So ride and ride my riders | P |
| And ride for men and me | P |
| Ride close round madness yonder | A2 |
| And blackest treachery | P |
| Oh ride round little children | F |
| That sleep through all and smile | F2 |
| At daybreak I will lead you | Y |
| Now I must rest awhile | F2 |
