| The blazing hall of grandeur and the throng | B |
| Of cities and there listen to the song | B |
| Of festive harmony then pause and say | A |
| Where is she found who in her sphere might shine | C |
| Attracting all Where is she found whose place | D |
| And dignity the proudest court might grace | D |
| Go where the desolate and dying pine | C |
| On their cold bed open the cottage door | E |
| Ask of that aged pair who feebly bend | F |
| O'er their small evening fire who is their friend | F |
| Ask of these children of the village poor | G |
| For this at the great judgment thou shalt find | H |
| Heaven's mercy Lady merciful and kind | H |
