| O vision of the coming time | C |
| When man has 'scaped the trackless slime | C |
| And reached the desert spring | D |
| When sands are crossed the sward invites | A |
| The worn to rest 'mid rare delights | A |
| And gratefully to sing | D |
| - | |
| E'en now the eye that's levelled high | E |
| Though dimly can the hope espy | F |
| - | |
| So solid soon one day | G |
| For every chain must then be broke | H |
| And hatred none will dare evoke | H |
| And June shall scatter May | G |
| - | |
| E'en now amid our misery | F |
| The germ of Union many see | F |
| And through the hedge of thorn | I |
| Like to a bee that dawn awakes | F |
| On Progress strides o'er shattered stakes | F |
| With solemn scathing scorn | I |
| - | |
| Behold the blackness shrink and flee | F |
| Behold the world rise up so free | F |
| Of coroneted things | F |
| Whilst o'er the distant youthful States | F |
| Like Amazonian bosom plates | F |
| Spread Freedom's shielding wings | F |
| - | |
| Ye liberated lands we hail | J |
| Your sails are whole despite the gale | J |
| Your masts are firm and will not fail | J |
| The triumph follows pain | K |
| Hear forges roar the hammer clanks | F |
| It beats the time to nations' thanks | F |
| At last a peaceful strain | K |
| - | |
| 'Tis rust not gore that gnaws the guns | F |
| And shattered shells are but the runs | F |
| Where warring insects cope | L |
| And all the headsman's racks and blades | F |
| And pincers tools of tyrants' aids | F |
| Are buried with the rope | L |
| - | |
| Upon the sky line glows i' the dark | M |
| The Sun that now is but a spark | M |
| But soon will be unfurled | N |
| The glorious banner of us all | O |
| The flag that rises ne'er to fall | O |
| Republic of the World | N |
