| All things except mere Earth are ours | A |
| We pluck its passions for our flowers | A |
| Dawn dyed our great cloud banners toss their streamers | A |
| Above its quaking tyrant towers | A |
| Making this stern grey planet shine with jewel showers | A |
| - | |
| Our lives are mantled in forgotten glory | B |
| Like trees that fringe yon dark hill crest | C |
| Alight against the molten west | C |
| The great night shuddering yields her stress of story | B |
| The dreams that stir the past s long rest | C |
| Strange scented night winds sighing on our naked breast | C |
| - | |
| Through all the spirit s spacious secret regions | D |
| By pathways we believed unknown | E |
| Still thoughts immortal meet our own | E |
| Ideas In innumerable legions | D |
| Like summer s stir in forests lone | E |
| Their various music merges in time s monotone | E |
| - | |
| The dreamer sees the deep drawn ore veins brightening | F |
| Through all the huge blind bulk of Earth | G |
| He led the ship around its girth | G |
| He plays as on the pulses of the lightning | F |
| The song that gives its workings worth | G |
| The song foredained to bring man s morrow to the birth | G |
| - | |
| Base base mere doers blind and dreamless | D |
| Whose bodies engines are of toil | H |
| Greasy with greed and lust they moil | H |
| They cast lots for the dreamer s garment seamless | D |
| To rot among their useless spoil | H |
| The fathomless infinity their breath does soil | H |

| Hail to the dream that roused the sleeping savage | I |
| And let him from his bloody lair | J |
| Across light s bridge that single hair | J |
| Above th unpurposed eyeless hell of ravage | K |
| That beasts and men the soulless share | J |
| And left him waking in thought s temple Heaven s heir | J |
| - | |
| Our souls in these vast Heavens unbeholden | E |
| Of eyes our angel hopes embrance | D |
| Or being s shining trail retrace | D |
| Through pregnant skies about our forms enfolden | E |
| In rapture of our kindred race | D |
| Until the gaze of God consume us face to face | D |
| - | |
| Ah God In what undying dream of beauty | B |
| Wrought Thou our world so strange and fair | J |
| Afloat in Thy illusive air | J |
| Aye me We know that dreaming is our duty | B |
| These dreams more intimate than prayer | J |
| For in Thy dream divine our laureate spirits share | J |
