| When rumour fain would fright my ear | B |
| With the destruction and decay | C |

| That hallows with immortal ray | C |
| The world where love and lovers stray | C |
| In glittering gardens soft with dew | E |
| O let them break and burn and slay | C |
| So that there be no change in you | E |

| Let rapine its republics rear | D |
| And murder its red sceptre sway | C |
| Their blood stained riot comes not near | D |
| The quiet haven where we pray | C |
| And work and love and laugh and play | C |
| Unchanged our skies are ever blue | E |
| Nothing can change for all they say | C |
| So that there be no change in you | E |
