| What of his loving what of his lust | A |
| What of his passion what of his pain | B |
| What of his poverty what of his pride | C |
| Earth the great mother has called him again | D |
| Deeply he sleeps the world's verdict defied | C |
| Shall he be tried again Shall he go free | E |
| Who shall the court convene Where shall it be | E |
| No answer on the land none from the sea | E |
| Only we know that as he did we must | A |
| You with your theories you with your trust | A |
| Ashes to ashes dust unto dust | A |
