Rhyme Scheme: AABABCCDDEEBBFFGGFHC CHIICICCJJ| The tufted gums along the rise | A |
| Stand black against the evening skies | A |
| And in the red west sombreing | B |
| As daylight dies | A |
| A simple moon the loveliest thing | B |
| I love outlines It may be | C |
| Some old wise heritage in me | C |
| For well we know that finite mind | D |
| Calls for the bounded and defined | D |
| Though random fancy loves to range | E |
| The aimless mists of dawn and strange | E |
| Lovely illusions in the sky | B |
| That charm and lie | B |
| Something there is in mortal man | F |
| Must have a margin and a plan | F |
| And Truth the tyrant has decreed | G |
| For human need | G |
| Limit and form since thought began | F |
| This long bold mountain line is true | H |
| But not those changing whims I see | C |
| Gleamy and vague and visionary | C |
| In air built blue | H |
| Deep in the soul we understand | I |
| Our nature's mystical demand | I |
| For the old sane austerities | C |
| O pilgrim of a homeless land | I |
| Hold fast to these | C |
| Across the stumbling centuries | C |
| The eyes of men turn backward still | J |
| To a firm Cross upon a hill | J |
