| From Tiber's hills to Danube's plains ' | B |
| So say her kings and priests so say | C |
| The lying prophets of our day | C |
| Go lay to earth a listening ear | D |
| The tramp of measured marches hear | D |
| The rolling of the cannon's wheel | E |
| The shotted musket's murderous peal | E |
| The night alarm the sentry's call | F |
| The quick eared spy in hut and hall | F |
| From Polar sea and tropic fen | G |
| The dying groans of exiled men | G |
| The bolted cell the galley's chains | A |
| The scaffold smoking with its stains | A |
| Order the hush of brooding slaves | H |
| Peace in the dungeon vaults and graves | H |
| O Fisher of the world wide net | I |
| With meshes in all waters set | I |
| Whose fabled keys of heaven and hell | J |
| Bolt hard the patriot's prison cell | J |
| And open wide the banquet hall | F |
| Where kings and priests hold carnival | K |
| Weak vassal tricked in royal guise | L |
| Boy Kaiser with thy lip of lies | L |
| Base gambler for Napoleon's crown | M |
| Barnacle on his dead renown | M |
| Thou Bourbon Neapolitan | N |
| Crowned scandal loathed of God and man | O |
| And thou fell Spider of the North | P |
| Stretching thy giant feelers forth | P |
| Within whose web the freedom dies | L |
| Of nations eaten up like flies | L |
| Speak Prince and Kaiser Priest and Czar | Q |
| If this be Peace pray what is War | R |
| White Angel of the Lord unmeet | I |
| That soft accursed for thy pure feet | I |
| Never in Slavery's desert flows | S |
| The fountain of thy charmed repose | S |
| No tyrant's hand thy chaplet weaves | T |
| Of lilies and of olive leaves | T |
| Not with the wicked shalt thou dwell | J |
| Thus saith the Eternal Oracle | K |
| Thy home is with the pure and free | U |
| Stern herald of thy better day | I |
| Before thee to prepare thy way | I |
| The Baptist Shade of Liberty | U |
| Gray scarred and hairy robed must press | V |
| With bleeding feet the wilderness | W |
| Oh that its voice might pierce the ear | D |
| Of princes trembling while they hear | D |
| A cry as of the Hebrew seer | D |
| Repent God's kingdom draweth near | X |
