| - | |
| High thought and hallowed love by faith made one | B |
| Begat and bare the sweet strong hearted child | C |
| Art nursed of Nature earth and sea and sun | B |
| Saw Nature then more godlike as she smiled | C |
| Life smiled on death and death on life the Soul | D |
| Between them shone and soared above their strife | E |
| And left on Time's unclosed and starry scroll | D |
| A sign that quickened death to deathless life | E |
| Peace rose like Hope a patient queen and bade | F |
| Hell's firstborn Faith abjure her creed and die | G |
| And Love by life and death made sad and glad | H |
| Gave Conscience ease and watched Good Will pass by | G |
| All these make music now of one man's name | I |
| Whose life and age are one with love and fame | I |
