Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDEFGFG HIHIJKJKLMNM| Far back in the ages | A |
| The plough with wreaths was crowned | B |
| The hands of kings and sages | C |
| Entwined the chaplet round | B |
| Till men of spoil disdained the toil | D |
| By which the world was nourished | E |
| And dews of blood enriched the soil | D |
| Where green their laurels flourished | E |
| Now the world her fault repairs | F |
| The guilt that stains her story | G |
| And weeps her crimes amid the cares | F |
| That formed her earliest glory | G |
| - | |
| The proud throne shall crumble | H |
| The diadem shall wane | I |
| The tribes of earth shall humble | H |
| The pride of those who reign | I |
| And War shall lay his pomp away | J |
| The fame that heroes cherish | K |
| The glory earned in deadly fray | J |
| Shall fade decay and perish | K |
| Honour waits o'er all the Earth | L |
| Through endless generations | M |
| The art that calls her harvests forth | N |
| And feeds the expectant nations | M |
