| So mounts the child of ages of desire | G |

| Ah doom of mortals Vexed with phantoms old | H |
| Old phantoms that waylay us and pursue | I |
| Weary of dreams we think to see unfold | H |
| The eternal landscape of the Real and True | I |
| And on our Pisgah can but write ''Tis cold | H |
| And clouds shut out the view ' | - |
