| - | |
| Out from the hut at break of day | B |
| And up the hills in the dawning grey | B |
| With the young wind flowing | A |
| From the blue east growing | A |
| Red with the white sun's ray | B |
| - | |
| Lone and clear as a deep bright dream | C |
| Under mid night's and mid slumber's stream | C |
| Up rises the mount against the sunrise shower | D |
| Vast as a kingdom fair as a flower | D |
| O'er it doth the foam of foliage ream | C |
| - | |
| In vivid softness serene | E |
| Pearly purple and marble green | E |
| Clear in their mingling tinges | F |
| Up away to the crest that fringes | F |
| Skies studded with cloud crags sheen | E |
| - | |
| Day | B |
| - | |
| Like birds frayed from their lurking shaw | G |
| Like ripples fleet 'neath a furious flaw | G |
| The echoes re echo flying | A |
| Down from the mauls hot plying | A |
| Clatter the axes grides the saw | G |
| - | |
| Ruddy and white the chips out spring | A |
| Like money sown by a pageant king | A |
| The free wood yields to the driven wedges | F |
| With its white sap edges | F |
| And heart in the sunshine glistening | A |
| - | |
| Broadly the ice clear azure floods down | H |
| Where the great tree tops are overthrown | I |
| As on through the endless day we labour | J |
| The sun for our nearest neighbour | J |
| Up o'er the mountains lone | I |
| - | |
| And so intensely it doth illume | C |
| That it shuts by times to gloom | C |
| In the open spaces thrilling | A |
| From the dead leaves distilling | A |
| A hot and harsh perfume | C |
| - | |
| Evening | A |
| - | |
| Give over All the valleys in sight | K |
| Fill fill with the rising tide of night | K |
| While the sunset with gold dust bridges | F |
| The black ravined ridges | F |
| Whose mighty muscles curve in its light | K |
| - | |
| In our weary climb while night dyes deep | L |
| Down the broken and stony steep | L |
| How our jaded bodies are shaken | M |
| By each step in half blindness taken | M |
| One's thoughts lie heaped like brutes asleep | L |
| - | |
| Open the door of the dismal hut | N |
| Silence and darkness lone were shut | N |
| In it as a tidal pool until returning | A |
| Night drowns the land no ember's burning | A |
| One is too weary the food to cut | N |
| - | |
| Body and soul with every blow | O |
| Wasted for ever and who will know | O |
| Where past this mountained night of toiling | A |
| Red life in its thousand veins is boiling | A |
| Of chips scattered on the mountain's brow | J |
