Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDEFGFGHIHIJKJK LMLNHJHJOPOPDQDQRSRS ETETUVUVWXWX| Kind wise and true as truth's own heart | A |
| A soul that here | B |
| Chose and held fast the better part | A |
| And cast out fear | C |
| Has left us ere we dreamed of death | D |
| For life so strong | E |
| Clear as the sundawn's light and breath | D |
| And sweet as song | E |
| We see no more what here awhile | F |
| Shed light on men | G |
| Has Landor seen that brave bright smile | F |
| Alive again | G |
| If death and life and love be one | H |
| And hope no lie | I |
| And night no stronger than the sun | H |
| These cannot die | I |
| The father spirit whence her soul | J |
| Took strength and gave | K |
| Back love is perfect yet and whole | J |
| As hope might crave | K |
| His word is living light and fire | L |
| And hers shall live | M |
| By grace of all good gifts the sire | L |
| Gave power to give | N |
| The sire and daughter twain and one | H |
| In quest and goal | J |
| Stand face to face beyond the sun | H |
| And soul to soul | J |
| Not we who loved them well may dream | O |
| What joy sublime | P |
| Is theirs if dawn through darkness gleam | O |
| And life through time | P |
| Time seems but here the mask of death | D |
| That falls and shows | Q |
| A void where hope may draw not breath | D |
| Night only knows | Q |
| Love knows not all that love may keep | R |
| Glad memory gives | S |
| The spirit of the days that sleep | R |
| Still wakes and lives | S |
| But not the spirit's self though song | E |
| Would lend it speech | T |
| May touch the goal that hope might long | E |
| In vain to reach | T |
| How dear that high true heart how sweet | U |
| Those keen kind eyes | V |
| Love knows who knows how fiery fleet | U |
| Is life that flies | V |
| If life there be that flies not fair | W |
| The life must be | X |
| That thrills her sovereign spirit there | W |
| And sets it free | X |
