Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEE FGHHII JJKKKK LLMNOP QQRRSS TTUUHH| This morning on my pensive walk | A |
| I saw a fisher on a rock | B |
| Who watched his ruby float careen | C |
| In waters bluely crystalline | D |
| While silver fishes nosed his bait | E |
| Yet hesitated ere they ate | E |
| - | |
| Nearby I saw a mother mid | F |
| Who knitted by her naked child | G |
| And watched him as he romped with glee | H |
| In golden sand in singing sea | H |
| Her eyes so blissfully love lit | I |
| She gazed and gazed and ceased to knit | I |
| - | |
| And then I watched a painter chap | J |
| Grey haired a grandfather mayhap | J |
| Who daubed with delicate caress | K |
| As if in love with loveliness | K |
| And looked at me with vague surmise | K |
| The joy of beauty in his eyes | K |

| Yet in my Morning Rag I read | L |
| Of paniked peoples dark with dread | L |
| Of flame and famine near and far | M |
| Of revolution pest and war | N |
| The fall of this the rise of that | O |
| The writhing proletariat | P |
| - | |
| I saw the fisher from his hook | Q |
| Take off a shiny perch to cook | Q |
| The mother garbed her laughing boy | R |
| And sang a silver lilt of joy | R |
| The artist packing up his paint | S |
| Went serenely as a saint | S |
| - | |
| The sky was gentleness and love | T |
| The sea soft crooning as a dove | T |
| Peace reigned so brilliantly profound | U |
| In every sight in every sound | U |
| Alas what mockery for me | H |
| Can peace be mine till Man be free | H |
