| Possessed the land which rendered to their toil | B |
| Hay corn roots hemp flax apples wool and wood | C |
| Each of these landlords walked amidst his farm | D |
| Saying quot 'Tis mine my children's and my name's | E |
| How sweet the west wind sounds in my own trees | F |
| How graceful climb those shadows on my hill | G |
| I fancy these pure waters and the flags | H |
| Know me as does my dog we sympathize | I |

| Where are these men Asleep beneath their grounds | K |
| And strangers fond as they their furrows plough | L |
| Earth laughs in flowers to see her boastful boys | M |
| Earth proud proud of the earth which is not theirs | N |
| Who steer the plough but cannot steer their feet | O |
| Clear of the grave | P |
| They added ridge to valley brook to pond | Q |
| And sighed for all that bounded their domain | R |
| 'This suits me for a pasture that's my park | S |
| We must have clay lime gravel granite ledge | T |
| And misty lowland where to go for peat | O |
| The land is well lies fairly to the south | U |
| 'Tis good when you have crossed the sea and back | V |
| To find the sitfast acres where you left them ' | - |
| Ah the hot owner sees not Death who adds | W |
| Him to his land a lump of mould the more | X |
| Hear what the Earth says | Y |

| 'Mine and yours | A2 |
| Mine not yours Earth endures | A2 |
| Stars abide | B2 |

| 'Here is the land | K2 |
| Shaggy with wood | C |
| With its old valley | C2 |
| Mound and flood | L2 |
| quot But the heritors | N |
| Fled like the flood's foam | M2 |
| The lawyer and the laws | N |
| And the kingdom | N2 |
| Clean swept herefrom | N2 |
| - | |
| 'They called me theirs | N |
| Who so controlled me | N2 |
| Yet every one | O2 |
| Wished to stay and is gone | P2 |
| How am I theirs | N |
| If they cannot hold me | N2 |
| But I hold them ' | - |

| When I heard the Earth song | Z |
| I was no longer brave | P |
| My avarice cooled | Q2 |
| Like lust in the chill of the grave | P |
