| To that men find | A |
| Deep in the poet's mind | A |
| That magic purse | B |
| Of Dreams from which | C |
| God builds His universe | B |
| That makes life rich | C |
| With many a vision | D |
| Taking the soul from out its prison | D |
| Of facts with the precision | D |
| A wildflower dons | E |
| When Spring comes knocking at the door | F |
| Of Earth across the windy lawns | G |
| Calling to Joy to rise and dance before | F |
| Her happy feet | H |
| Or with the beat | H |
| And bright exactness of a star | I |
| Hanging its punctual point afar | I |
| When Night comes tripping over Heaven's floor | F |
| Leaving a gate ajar | I |
| That leads the Heart from all its aching | J |
| Far above where day is breaking | J |
| Out of the doubts the agonies | K |
| The strife and sin to join with these | K |
| Hope and Beauty and Joy that build | L |
| Their golden walls | M |
| Of sunset where with spirits filled | L |
| A Presence calls | M |
| And points a land | N |
| Where Love walks silent hand in hand | N |
| With the Spirit of God and leads Man right | O |
| Out of the darkness into the light | O |
