| When Joshua 'gainst the high walled city fought | C |
| He marched around it with his banner high | D |
| His troops in serried order following nigh | D |
| But not a sword was drawn no shaft outsprang | E |
| Only the trumpets the shrill onset rang | E |
| At the first blast smiled scornfully the king | E |
| And at the second sneered half wondering | E |
| Hop'st thou with noise my stronghold to break down | F |
| At the third round the ark of old renown | F |
| Swept forward still the trumpets sounding loud | G |
| And then the troops with ensigns waving proud | G |
| Stepped out upon the old walls children dark | E |
| With horns to mock the notes and hoot the ark | E |
| At the fourth turn braving the Israelites | H |
| Women appeared upon the crenelated heights | H |
| Those battlements embrowned with age and rust | I |
| And hurled upon the Hebrews stones and dust | I |
| And spun and sang when weary of the game | J |
| At the fifth circuit came the blind and lame | J |
| And with wild uproar clamorous and high | D |
| Railed at the clarion ringing to the sky | D |
| At the sixth time upon a tower's tall crest | K |
| So high that there the eagle built his nest | K |
| So hard that on it lightning lit in vain | L |
| Appeared in merriment the king again | M |
| These Hebrew Jews musicians are meseems | H |
| He scoffed loud laughing but they live on dreams | H |
| The princes laughed submissive to the king | E |
| Laughed all the courtiers in their glittering ring | E |
| And thence the laughter spread through all the town | F |
| - | |
| At the seventh blast the city walls fell down | F |
