| When I shall go | C |
| Into the narrow home that leaves | D |
| No room for wringing of the hands and hair | E |
| And feel the pressing of the walls which bear | E |
| The heavy sod upon my heart that grieves | D |
| As the weird earth rolls on | F |
| Then I shall know | C |
| What is the power of destiny But still | G |
| Still while my life however sad be mine | H |
| I war with memory striving to divine | H |
| Phantom to morrows to outrun the past | I |
| For yet the tears of final absolute ill | G |
| And ruinous knowledge of my fate I shun | J |
| Even as the frail instinctive weed | K |
| Tries through unending shade to reach at last | I |
| A shining mellowing rapture giving sun | J |
| So in the deed of breathing joy's warm breath | L |
| Fain to succeed | K |
| I too in colorless longings hope till death | L |

| An angel spoke with me and lo he hoarded | N |
| My falling tears to cheer a flower's face | O |
| For so it seems in all the heavenly space | O |
| A wasted grief was never yet recorded | P |
| Victorious calm those holy tones afforded | P |
| Unto my soul whose outcry in disgrace | O |
| Changed to low music leading to the place | O |
| Where though well armed with futile end awarded | P |
| My past lay dead Wars are of earth he cried | Q |
| Endurance only breathes immortal air | E |
| Courage eternal by a world defied | Q |
| Still wears the front of patience smooth and fair | E |
| Are wars so futile and is courage peace | M |
| Take then my soul thus gently thy release | M |
