| Ten thousand anvils sound there | Q |
| By forges flaming white | F |

| And many books I write | F |
| - | |
| And freedom's bells are ringing | R |
| And bird choirs chant and fly | I |
| The whole world works in me to day | G |
| And all the shining sky | I |
| - | |
| Because of one small lady | F |
| Whose smile is my chief sun | K |
| She gives not any gift to me | F |
| Yet all gifts giving one | K |
| Amen | S |
