| Good comrade and philosopher and prince | D |
| Thoughtful and thoroughbred and strong and kind | E |

| But what can Europe say when in your name | G |
| The throats are cut the lotus ponds turn red | H |
| And what can Europe say when with a laugh | I |
| Old Asia heaps her hecatombs of dead | H |
