| When thine armed head bent low to catch my voice | B |
| Caught but the plaintive sighings of my woods | C |
| And the wild roar of rock dividing streams | D |
| And the loud bellow of my cataracts | E |
| Bridged with the seven splendours of the bow | F |
| When Nature was a Samson yet unshorn | G |
| Filling the land with solitary might | H |
| Or as the Angel of the Apocalypse | I |
| One foot upon the primeval bowered land | J |
| One foot upon the white mane of the sea | K |
| My voice but faintly swelled the ebb and flow | L |
| Of the wild tides and storms that beat upon | G |
| Thy rocky girdle loud shrieking from the Ind | J |
| Ambrosial breathing furies from the north | M |
| Thundering with Arctic bellows groans of seas | A |
| Rising from tombs of ice disrupted by | N |
| The magic kisses of the wide eyed sun | G |
| - | |
| The times have won a change Nature no more | O |
| Lords it alone and binds the lonely land | J |
| A serf to tongueless solitudes but Nature's self | P |
| Is led glad captive in light fetters rich | Q |
| As music sounding silver can adorn | G |
| And man has forged them and our silent God | J |
| Behind His flaming worlds smiles on the deed | J |
| 'Man hath dominion' words of primal might | J |
| 'Man hath dominion' thus the words of God | J |
| - | |
| If destiny is writ on night's dusk scroll | R |
| Then youngest stars are dropping from the hand | J |
| Of the Creator sowing on the sky | N |
| My name in seeds of light Ages will watch | S |
| Those seeds expand to suns such as the tree | K |
| Bears on its boughs which grows in Paradise | T |
| - | |
| How sounds my voice my warrior kinsman now | G |
| Sounds it not like to thine in lusty youth | U |
| A world possessing shout of busy men | G |
| Veined with the clang of trumpets and the noise | V |
| Of those who make them ready for the strife | W |
| And in the making ready bruise its head | J |
| Sounds it not like to thine the whispering vine | G |
| The robe of summer rustling thro' the fields | X |
| The lowing of the cattle in the meads | Y |
| The sound of Commerce and the music set | J |
| Flame brightened step of Art in stately halls | Z |
| All the infinity of notes which chord | J |
| The diapason of a Nation's voice | B |
| - | |
| My infants' tongues lisp word for word with thine | G |
| We worship wed and die and God is named | J |
| That way ye name Him strong bond between | G |
| Two mighty lands when as one mingled cry | N |
| As of one voice Jehovah turns to hear | A2 |
| The bonds between us are no subtle links | B2 |
| Of subtle minds binding in close embrace | C2 |
| Half struggling for release two alien lands | D2 |
| But God's own seal of kindred which to burst | J |
| Were but to dash his benediction from | E2 |
| Our brows 'Who loveth not his kin | G |
| Whose face and voice are his how shall he love | F2 |
| God whom he hath not seen ' | - |
