Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDE FGFGCECE HIHIJEJE KFKFLELE MNMNOEOE| It's good the great green earth to roam | A |
| Where sights of awe the soul inspire | B |
| But oh it's best the coming home | A |
| The crackle of one's own hearth fire | C |
| You've hob nobbed with the solemn Past | D |
| You've seen the pageantry of kings | E |
| Yet oh how sweet to gain at last | D |
| The peace and rest of Little Things | E |
| - | |
| Perhaps you're counted with the Great | F |
| You strain and strive with mighty men | G |
| Your hand is on the helm of State | F |
| Colossus like you stride and then | G |
| There comes a pause a shining hour | C |
| A dog that leaps a hand that clings | E |
| O Titan turn from pomp and power | C |
| Give all your heart to Little Things | E |
| - | |
| Go couch you childwise in the grass | H |
| Believing it's some jungle strange | I |
| Where mighty monsters peer and pass | H |
| Where beetles roam and spiders range | I |
| 'Mid gloom and gleam of leaf and blade | J |
| What dragons rasp their painted wings | E |
| O magic world of shine and shade | J |
| O beauty land of Little Things | E |
| - | |
| I sometimes wonder after all | K |
| Amid this tangled web of fate | F |
| If what is great may not be small | K |
| And what is small may not be great | F |
| So wondering I go my way | L |
| Yet in my heart contentment sings | E |
| O may I ever see I pray | L |
| God's grace and love in Little Things | E |
| - | |
| So give to me I only beg | M |
| A little roof to call my own | N |
| A little cider in the keg | M |
| A little meat upon the bone | N |
| A little garden by the sea | O |
| A little boat that dips and swings | E |
| Take wealth take fame but leave to me | O |
| O Lord of Life just Little Things | E |
