As others go its beckoning length | C |

But the wind's whispers round me roll | D |
For you mistake | E |

One leads beneath high oaks and birds | G |
Choose there their joyous revelry | H |

The river mirrors silently | H |
Under these trees | I |

Tell me what goal resonant breeze | I |
For you mistake | E |

What is there left The arid way | J |
The chilling height whence all the world | K |
Looks little and each radiant day | J |
Like the soul's banner flies unfurled | K |

Some spirits wander till they die | N |
With shattered thoughts and trembling hands | O |

Whatever end they make | E |

Its force until our hopes are old | Q |
And skyward God's star beacons burn | P |
The brighter as our hearts grow cold | Q |

In the great plans that shake | E |
The world still God has need of this | R |
Even our mistake | E |
