Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFEGFHFIJKJLMNM OCPCQMRM| Incense and Splendor haunt me as I go | A |
| Though my good works have been alas too few | B |
| Though I do naught High Heaven comes down to me | C |
| And future ages pass in tall review | B |
| I see the years to come as armies vast | D |
| Stalking tremendous through the fields of time | E |
| MAN is unborn To morrow he is born | F |
| Flame like to hover o er the moil and grime | E |
| Striving aspiring till the shame is gone | G |
| Sowing a million flowers where now we mourn | F |
| Laying new precious pavements with a song | H |
| Founding new shrines the good streets to adorn | F |
| I have seen lovers by those new built walls | I |
| Clothed like the dawn in orange gold and red | J |
| Eyes flashing forth the glory light of love | K |
| Under the wreaths that crowned each royal head | J |
| Life was made greater by their sweetheart prayers | L |
| Passion was turned to civic strength that day | M |
| Piling the marbles making fairer domes | N |
| With zeal that else had burned bright youth away | M |
| I have seen priestesses of life go by | O |
| Gliding in samite through the incense sea | C |
| Innocent children marching with them there | P |
| Singing in flowered robes THE EARTH IS FREE | C |
| While on the fair deep carved unfinished towers | Q |
| Sentinels watched in armor night and day | M |
| Guarding the brazier fires of hope and dream | R |
| Wild was their peace and dawn bright their array | M |
