| We may linger as we will | J |
| In the sunset valleys still | J |
| Till the gypsy shadows creep | K |
| From the starlit land of sleep | K |
| And the mist of evening gray | A |
| Girdles round our pilgrim way | A |
| - | |
| We may bring to work again | L |
| Courage from the tasselled glen | L |
| Bring a strength unfailing won | M |
| From the paths of cloud and sun | M |
| And the wholesome zest that springs | H |
| From all happy growing things | H |
