| In you and me | B |

| 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 |
