Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCBB DDBB| Leader poet singer artist who have struggled long and won | A |
| Though the climbing is behind you now the battle has begun | A |
| Shut your ears unto the empty parrot phrases of the town | B |
| Shun the hand grips of your rivals they can only drag you down | B |

| See the bush or quiet chamber work for you have work to do | C |
| Though the city shall be lighted and the table spread for you | C |
| Work through ease and pleasure call you work when you have care to drown | B |
| Shun the wine cup like a serpent it can only drag you down | B |

| And the star eyes and the red lips luring ever to a wreck | D |
| And the beauty of the white arms clinging closely round your neck | D |
| Golden head thrown back and white arms clinging closer when you frown | B |
| Tear them from your neck if need be they can only drag you down | B |
