Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH IJKJ| I seek not what his soul desires | A |
| He dreads not what my spirit fears | B |

| Our dooms have dealt us differing years | B |

| Our daysprings and our timeless dead | C |
| Ordained for us and still control | D |
| Lives sundered at the fountain head | C |
| And distant now as Pole from Pole | D |

| Yet dwelling thus these worlds apart | E |
| When we encounter each is free | F |
| To bare that larger liberal heart | E |
| Our kin and neighbours seldom see | F |

| Custom and code compared in jest | G |
| Weakness delivered without shame | H |
| And certain common sins confessed | G |
| Which all men know and none dare blame | H |

| E'en so it is and well content | I |
| It should be so a moment's space | J |
| Each finds the other excellent | K |
| And runs to follow his own race | J |
