Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCBDCEFFFFF| Son of the old Moon mountains African | A |
| Chief of the Pyramid and Crocodile | B |
| We call thee fruitful and that very while | B |
| A desert fills our seeing's inward span | C |
| Nurse of swart nations since the world began | C |
| Art thou so fruitful or dost thou beguile | B |
| Such men to honour thee who worn with toil | D |
| Rest for a space 'twixt Cairo and Decan | C |
| O may dark fancies err They surely do | E |
| 'Tis ignorance that makes a barren waste | F |
| Of all beyond itself Thou dost bedew | F |
| Green rushes like our rivers and dost taste | F |
| The pleasant sunrise Green isles hast thou too | F |
| And to the sea as happily dost haste | F |
