| The tawny torrents chafe and churn | O |
| And lined with light the amber burn | O |
| Goes bounding to the sea | N |

| Toll then for Him no funeral knell | P |
| Nor around aisle and nave | Q |
| Let sorrow's farewell anthem swell | P |
| Nor solemn symbols wave | Q |
| Your very brightest banners bring | M |
| Your gayest flowers Sing voices sing | M |
| And let Fame's lofty joybells ring | M |
| Their greeting at His grave | Q |
