| Let all things be | B |
| And lo the starry firmament | C |
| And land and sea | B |
| And his first thought of life that lives | D |
| In you and me | B |
| - | |
| His circle of eternity | B |
| We see in part | C |
| Our spirits are his breath our hearts | E |
| Beat from his heart | C |
| Hence we have played as little gods | F |
| And called it art | C |

| Lacking his power we shared his dream | G |
| Of perfect things | H |
| Between the tents of hope and sweet | C |
| Rememberings | H |
| Have sat in ashes but our souls | H |
| Went forth on wings | H |
| - | |
| Where life fell short of some desire | I |
| In you and me | B |
| Feeling for beauty which our eyes | H |
| Could never see | B |
| Behold from out the void we willed | C |
| That it should be | B |
| - | |
| And sometimes dreamed our lisping songs | H |
| Of humanhood | C |
| Might voice his silent harmony | B |
| Of waste and wood | C |
| And he beholding his and ours | H |
| Might find it good | C |
