| I cower to the earth I waking I only | B |
| High and cold thou dreamest O queen high dreaming and lonely | B |

| We have slept too long who can hardly win | A |
| The white one flame and the night long crying | C |
| The viewless passers the world's low sighing | C |

| All the earth grows fire | G |
| White lips of desire | G |
| Brushing cool on the forehead croon slumbrous things | F |
| Earth fades and the air is thrilled with ways | H |
| Dewy paths full of comfort And radiant bands | I |
| The gracious presence of friendly hands | I |
| Help the blind one the glad one who stumbles and strays | H |
| Stretching wavering hands up up through the praise | H |
| Of a myriad silver trumpets through cries | J |
| To all glory to all gladness to the infinite height | K |
| To the gracious the unmoving the mother eyes | J |
| And the laughter and the lips of light | K |
