Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDEFGHIJBKBLMNM OPQPICRCBSTSUVBVBKVK| HE had bowed down to drunkenness | A |
| An abject worshipper | B |
| The pride of manhood's pulse had grown | C |
| Too faint and cold to stir | B |
| And he had given his spirit up | D |
| To the unbless d thrall | E |
| And bowing to the poison cup | D |
| He gloried in his fall | E |
| There came a change the cloud rolled off | F |
| And light fell on his brain | G |
| And like the passing of a dream | H |
| That cometh not again | I |
| The shadow of the spirit fled | J |
| He saw the gulf before | B |
| He shuddered at the waste behind | K |
| And was a man once more | B |
| He shook the serpent folds away | L |
| That gathered round his heart | M |
| As shakes the swaying forest oak | N |
| Its poison vine apart | M |
| He stood erect returning pride | O |
| Grew terrible within | P |
| And conscience sat in judgment on | Q |
| His most familiar sin | P |
| The light of Intellect again | I |
| Along his pathway shone | C |
| And Reason like a monarch sat | R |
| Upon his olden throne | C |
| The honored and the wise once more | B |
| Within his presence came | S |
| And lingered oft on lovely lips | T |
| His once forbidden name | S |
| There may be glory in the might | U |
| That treadeth nations down | V |
| Wreaths for the crimson conqueror | B |
| Pride for the kingly crown | V |
| But nobler is that triumph hour | B |
| The disenthralled shall find | K |
| When evil passion boweth down | V |
| Unto the Godlike mind | K |
