| Tree Old Tree of the Triple Crook | C |
| And the rope of the Black Election | D |
| 'Tis the faith of the Fool that a race you rule | E |
| Can never achieve perfection | D |
| And 'It's O for the time of the New Sublime | F |
| And the better than human way | G |
| When the Wolf poor beast shall come to his own | H |
| And the Rat shall have his day ' | - |
| - | |
| For Tree Old Tree of the Triple Beam | I |
| And the power of provocation | D |
| You have cockered the Brute with your dreadful fruit | J |
| Till your thought is mere stupration | D |
| And 'It's how should we rise to be pure and wise | K |
| And how can we choose but fall | L |
| So long as the Hangman makes us dread | M |
| And the Noose floats free for all ' | - |
| - | |
| So Tree Old Tree of the Triple Coign | D |
| And the trick there's no recalling | N |
| They will haggle and hew till they hack you through | A |
| And at last they lay you sprawling | N |
| When 'Hey for the hour of the race in flower | A |
| And the long good bye to sin ' | - |
| And 'Ho for the fires of Hell gone out | O |
| For the want of keeping in ' | - |
| - | |
| But Tree Old Tree of the Triple Bough | P |
| And the ghastly Dreams that tend you | A |
| Your growth began with the life of Man | D |
| And only his death can end you | A |
| They may tug in line at your hempen twine | D |
| They may flourish with axe and saw | Q |
| But your taproot drinks of the Sacred Springs | R |
| In the living rock of Law | Q |
| - | |
| And Tree Old Tree of the Triple Fork | S |
| When the spent sun reels and blunders | T |
| Down a welkin lit with the flare of the Pit | U |
| As it seethes in spate and thunders | T |
| Stern on the glare of the tortured air | A |
| Your lines august shall gloom | V |
| And your master beam be the last thing whelmed | U |
| In the ruining roar of Doom | V |
