| Things are not always as they seem to be | E |
| The outer surface only man may see | E |
| The summer sleeps beneath the quilt of snow | F |
| Behind the clouds is hid the solar glow | F |
| The babbling brook will burst its icy bands | G |
| And birds will sing and trees will clap their hands | G |
| The fallen leaf has left a bud behind | H |
| And flowers will bloom of brightest hue and kind | H |
| For when we look beneath the outward crust | I |
| With vision clear and free from worldly lust | I |
| We will behold a brighter world than this | J |
| With less of curse and much of noble bliss | J |

| Is clearly seen and doubts must disappear | L |
| The end He has in view is most benign | M |
| The fire will dross consume and gold refine | M |
