| From our old griefs as swallows home warding | H |
| Sweep ever southward with unwearied wing | H |

| We shall fare forth comrades for evermore | I |
| Though the ill omened bird Time loves to bear | J |
| Has brushed this cheek and left an impress there | J |

| Free as a bird o'er the wide world to rove | K |
| And strong and fearless O my Love to love | L |

| But once Dear Heart but once and we are young | R |

| Over the seas together you and I | S |
| 'Neath blue Italian skies or on the hills | T |
| Of storied Greece where the warm sunlight fills | T |
| Spain's mellow vineyards wandering reverently | O |
| O'er the green plains of Palestine our days | U |
| A golden holiday in Old World ways | U |
| - | |
| Yet would we linger not by southern shores | V |
| The bracing breath of Scandinavian snows | W |
| Would draw us from our dreams The North wind blows | W |
| Upon thy cheek my Norseman and the roars | V |
| Of the wild Baltic sound within my ears | A |
| When to my dreams thy stalwart form appears | A |
| - | |
| This will the future bring See Thou hast given | X |
| From out the fulness of thy strength and will | Y |
| This courage to me Though the rugged hill | Y |
| Looms high and fronts our vision yet our heaven | X |
| I see it when I sleep with portals wide | Z |
| And shining towers gleams on the farther side | Z |
