Rhyme Scheme: ABBCDEEFGHHG IJJI| I wage not any feud with Death | A |
| For changes wrought on form and face | B |
| No lower life that earth's embrace | B |
| May breed with him can fright my faith | C |
| Eternal process moving on | D |
| From state to state the spirit walks | E |
| And these are but the shatter'd stalks | E |
| Or ruin'd chrysalis of one | F |
| Nor blame I Death because he bare | G |
| The use of virtue out of earth | H |
| I know transplanted human worth | H |
| Will bloom to profit otherwhere | G |
| - | |
| For this alone on Death I wreak | I |
| The wrath that garners in my heart | J |
| He put our lives so far apart | J |
| We cannot hear each other speak | I |
