Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC EFFE GHHG| The laurel withers on your brow | A |
| victor weary of the race | B |
| And you who sit in mighty place | B |
| How heavy is your scepter now | A |
| - | |
| Flushed with the kiss your lips have known | C |
| Woman this is your hour to wake | D |
| And know that flesh and heart may break | D |
| When love hath entered on its own | C |
| - | |
| And you who knew where angels trod | E |
| And marked the path for duller eyes | F |
| In this lone hour are you still wise | F |
| Do you not quail before your God | E |
| - | |
| God to whom the dark is day | G |
| Forget not these the strong the right | H |
| The happy souls for Lord at night | H |
| They tremble in their tents of clay | G |
