| And the backblocks bard goes through it ever seeking as he goes | F |
| For the line of least resistance to the hearts of men he knows | F |
| And he tracks their hearts in mateship and he tracks them out alone | B |
| Seeking for the power to sway them till he finds it in his own | B |
| Feels what they feel loves what they love learns to hate what they condemn | B |
| Takes his pen in tears and triumph and he writes it down for them | B |
