Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHEH EAGA IEJE| I lay beneath the pine trees | A |
| And looked aloft where through | B |
| The dusky clustered tree tops | C |
| Gleamed rent gay rifts of blue | B |
| - | |
| I shut my eyes and a fancy | D |
| Fluttered my sense around | E |
| I lie here dead and buried | F |
| And this is churchyard ground | E |
| - | |
| I am at rest for ever | G |
| Ended the stress and strife | H |
| Straight I fell to and sorrowed | E |
| For the pitiful past life | H |
| - | |
| Right wronged and knowledge wasted | E |
| Wise labour spurned for ease | A |
| The sloth and the sin and the failure | G |
| Did I grow sad for these | A |
| - | |
| They had made me sad so often | I |
| Not now they made me sad | E |
| My heart was full of sorrow | J |
| For joy it never had | E |
