| Its radiant form went swinging like a star | B |
| In its song prophetic voices mixed their sounds with trumpet noises | C |
| As when loud the World rejoices after war | D |
| And it said | E |
| I | - |
| Hear me | F |
| Above the roar of cities | G |
| The clamor and conflict of trade | H |
| The frenzy and fury of commercialism | I |
| Is heard my voice chanting intoning | A |
| Down the long corridors of time it comes | J |
| Bearing my message bidding the soul of man arise | K |
| To the realization of his dream | L |
| Now and then discords seem to intrude | M |
| And tones that are false and feeble | N |
| Beginnings of the perfect chord | O |
| From which is evolved the ideal the unattainable | N |
| Hear me | F |
| Ever and ever | P |
| Above the tumult of the years | Q |
| The blatant cacophonies of war | D |
| The wrangling of politics | R |
| Demons and spirits of unrest | S |
| My song persists | T |
| Addressing the soul | U |
| With the urge of an astral something | A |
| Supernal | U |
| Elemental | U |
| Promethean | V |
| Instinct with an everlasting fire | P |
| II | - |
| Hear me | F |
| I am the expression of the subconscious | W |
| The utterance of the intellect | X |
| The voice of mind | Y |
| That stands for civilization | V |
| Out of my singing sprang Minerva like | Z |
| Full armed and fearless | W |
| Liberty | F |
| Subduer of tyrants who feed on the strength of Nations | A2 |
| Out of my chanting arose | B2 |
| As Aphrodite arose from the foam of the ocean | V |
| The Dream of Spiritual Desire | P |
| Mother of Knowledge | C2 |
| Victor o'er Hate and Oppression | V |
| Ancient and elemental d mons | B2 |
| Who with Ignorance and Evil their consorts | B2 |
| Have ruled for eons of years | B2 |
| III | - |
| Hear me | F |
| Should my chanting cease | B2 |
| My music utterly fail you | D2 |
| Behold | E2 |
| Out of the hoary Past most swiftly surely | F |
| Would gather the Evils of Earth | F2 |
| The Hydras and Harpies forgotten | V |
| And buried in darkness | B2 |
| Amorphous of form | G2 |
| Tyrannies and Superstitions | B2 |
| Torturing body and soul | U |
| And with them | H2 |
| Gargoyls of dreams that groaned in the Middle Ages | B2 |
| Aspects of darkness and death and hollow eidolons | B2 |
| Cruel inhuman | V |
| Wearing the faces and forms of all the wrongs of the world | I2 |
| Barbarian hordes whose shapes make hideous | B2 |
| The cycles of error and crime | J2 |
| Grendels of darkness | B2 |
| Devouring the manhood of Nations | B2 |
| Demogorgons of War and Misrule | U |
| Blackening the world with blood and the lust of destruction | V |
| Hear me | F |
| Out of my song have grown | V |
| Beauty and joy | K2 |
| And with them | H2 |
| The triumph of Reason | V |
| The confirmation of Hope | L2 |
| Of Faith and Endeavor | P |
| The Dream that's immortal | U |
| To whose creation Thought gives concrete form | G2 |
| And of which Vision makes permanent substance | B2 |
| IV | - |
| Fragmentary | F |
| Out of the Past | M2 |
| Down the long aisles of the Centuries | B2 |
| Uncertain at first and uneasy | F |
| Hesitant harsh of expression | V |
| My song was heard | N2 |
| Stammering appealing | A |
| A murmur merely | F |
| Coherent then | V |
| Singing into form | G2 |
| Assertive | - |
| Ecstatic | O2 |
| Louder lovelier and more insistent | P2 |
| Sonorous proclaiming | A |
| Clearer and surer and stronger | P |
| Attaining expression evermore truer and clearer | P |
| Masterful mighty at last | M2 |
| Committed to conquest | S |
| And with Beauty coeval | F |
| Part of the wonder of life | - |
| The triumph of light over darkness | B2 |
| Taking the form of Art | Q2 |
| Art that is voice and vision of the soul of man | V |
| Hear me | F |
| Confident ever | P |
| One with the Loveliness song shall evolve | - |
| My voice is become as an army of banners | B2 |
| Marching irresistibly forward | N2 |
| With the roll of the drums of attainment | P2 |
| The blare of the bugles of fame | R2 |
| Tramping tramping evermore advancing | A |
| Till the last redoubt of prejudice is down | V |
| And the Eagles and Fasces of Learning | A |
| Make glorious the van o' the world | I2 |
| V | F |
| They who are deaf to my singing | A |
| Who disregard me | F |
| Let them beware lest the splendor escape them | H2 |
| The glory of light that is back o' the darkness of life | - |
| And with it | S2 |
| The blindness of spirit o'erwhelm them | H2 |
| They who reject me | F |
| Reject the gleam | L |
| That goes to the making of Beauty | F |
| And put away | T2 |
| The loftier impulses of heart and of mind | Y |
| They shall not possess the dream the ideal | F |
| Of ultimate worlds | B2 |
| That is part of the soul that aspires | B2 |
| That sits with the Spirit of Thought | U2 |
| The radiant presence who weaves | B2 |
| Directed of Destiny | F |
| There in the Universe | B2 |
| At its infinite pattern of stars | B2 |
| They shall not know | V |
| Not they | T2 |
| The exaltations that make endurable here on the Earth | F2 |
| The ponderable curtain of flesh | V2 |
| Not they Not they | T2 |
| VI | - |
| Hear me | F |
| I control and direct | X |
| I wound and heal | F |
| Elevate and subdue | D2 |
| The vaulting energies of Man | V |
| I am part of the cosmic strain o' the Universe | B2 |
| I captain the thoughts that grow to deeds | B2 |
| Material and spiritual facts | B2 |
| Pointing the world to greater and nobler things | B2 |
| Hear me | F |
| My d dal expression peoples the Past and Present | P2 |
| With forms of ethereal thought | U2 |
| That symbolize Beauty | F |
| The Beauty expressing itself now | V |
| As Poetry | F |
| As Philosophy | F |
| As Truth and Religion now | V |
| And now | V |
| As science and Law | F |
| Vaunt couriers of Civilization | V |
