Rhyme Scheme: ABBCDDEFFGHHICCJKLMN NOPPQRSPCCCCCTCC| I SAID I stood upon thy grave | A |
| My Mother State when last the moon | B |
| Of blossoms clomb the skies of June | B |
| And scattering ashes on my head | C |
| I wore undreaming of relief | D |
| The sackcloth of thy shame and grief | D |
| Again that moon of blossoms shines | E |
| On leaf and flower and folded wing | F |
| And thou hast risen with the spring | F |
| Once more thy strong maternal arms | G |
| Are round about thy children flung | H |
| A lioness that guards her young | H |
| No threat is on thy clos d lips | I |
| But in thine eye a power to smite | C |
| The mad wolf backward from its light | C |
| Southward the baffled robber's track | J |
| Henceforth runs only hereaway | K |
| The fell lycanthrope finds no prey | L |
| Henceforth within thy sacred gates | M |
| His first low howl shall downward draw | N |
| The thunder of thy righteous law | N |
| Not mindless of thy trade and gain | O |
| But acting on the wiser plan | P |
| Thou 'rt grown conservative of man | P |
| So shalt thou clothe with life the hope | Q |
| Dream painted on the sightless eyes | R |
| Of him who sang of Paradise | S |
| The vision of a Christian man | P |
| In virtue as in stature great | C |
| Embodied in a Christian State | C |
| And thou amidst thy sisterhood | C |
| Forbearing long yet standing fast | C |
| Shalt win their grateful thanks at last | C |
| When North and South shall strive no more | T |
| And all their feuds and fears be lost | C |
| In Freedom's holy Pentecost | C |
