I	A
	-
Lover of beauty walking on the height	B
Of pure philosophy and tranquil song	C
Born to behold the visions that belong	C
To those who dwell in melody and light	B
Milton thou spirit delicate and bright	B
What drew thee down to join the Roundhead throng	C
Of iron sided warriors rude and strong	C
Fighting for freedom in a world half night	B
	-
Lover of Liberty at heart wast thou	D
Above all beauty bright all music clear	E
To thee she bared her bosom and her brow	D
Breathing her virgin promise in thine ear	F
And bound thee to her with a double vow	D
Exquisite Puritan grave Cavalier	E
	-
	-
II	A
	-
The cause the cause for which thy soul resigned	G
Her singing robes to battle on the plain	H
Was won O poet and was lost again	I
And lost the labour of thy lonely mind	G
On weary tasks of prose What wilt thou find	G
To comfort thee for all the toil and pain	H
What solace now thy sacrifice is vain	H
And thou art left forsaken poor and blind	G
	-
Like organ music comes the deep reply	A
The cause of truth looks lost but shall be won	J
For God hath given to mine inward eye	A
Vision of England soaring to the sun	J
And granted me great peace before I die	A
In thoughts of lowly duty bravely done	J
	-
	-
III	A
	-
O bend again above thine organ board	K
Thou blind old poet longing for repose	L
Thy Master claims thy service not with those	L
Who only stand and wait for his reward	K
He pours the heavenly gift of song restored	K
Into thy breast and bids thee nobly close	M
A noble life with poetry that flows	L
In mighty music of the major chord	K
	-
Where hast thou learned this deep majestic strain	H
Surpassing all thy youthful lyric grace	N
To sing of Paradise Ah not in vain	H
The griefs that won at Dante's side thy place	N
And made thee Milton by thy years of pain	H
The loftiest poet of the Saxon race	N
