Rhyme Scheme: AABCBCBB DDBEBEDD F| Seven millions stand | A |
| Emaciate in that ancient Delta land | A |
| We here full charged with our own maimed and dead | B |
| And coiled in throbbing conflicts slow and sore | C |
| Can poorly soothe these ails unmerited | B |
| Of souls forlorn upon the facing shore | C |
| Where naked gaunt in endless band on band | B |
| Seven millions stand | B |

| No man can say | D |
| To your great country that with scant delay | D |
| You must perforce ease them in their loud need | B |
| We know that nearer first your duty lies | E |
| But is it much to ask that you let plead | B |
| Your lovingkindness with you wooing wise | E |
| Albeit that aught you owe and must repay | D |
| No man can say | D |
