| These that come to our homes as kings | B |
| Asking nor leave nor grace | C |
| Bending our necks to their yoke | A |
| Taking the highest place | C |
| And mastery of all things | B |
| - | |
| Whence they come none may know | D |
| But a wondrous land it must be | E |
| Angels in exile they | F |
| Here in this dull world below | D |
| Creatures of sinful clay | F |
| We feel near their purity | E |
| - | |
| Clearer their young eyes are | G |
| Than the dew in the cups of flowers | H |
| Gleaming when shines at dawn | I |
| Faintly the morning s one star | G |
| Eyes whose still gaze indrawn | I |
| Sees things unseen by ours | H |
| - | |
| Deep in those orbs serene | I |

| Tyrants whose terrible names | O |
| Make men pale with affright intense | P |
| Worshipping kiss their feet | Q |
| Touch of their little hands tames | O |
| Fiercest of hearts that beat | Q |
| So mighty is Innocence | R |
| - | |
| These are the children dear | S |
| From a country unknown of charts | T |
| Dim Land of Souls Unborn | I |
| Rosy as morn they come here | U |
| Filling with joy forlorn | I |
| Waste places in our hearts | T |
