Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCBC DEDF GHGH IJKJ HLHL MJNJ| Why should such gloomy silence reign | A |
| And why is all the house so drear | B |
| When neither danger sickness pain | A |
| Nor death nor want have entered here | B |
| We are as many as we were | B |
| That other night when all were gay | C |
| And full of hope and free from care | B |
| Yet is there something gone away | C |
| - | |
| The moon without as pure and calm | D |
| Is shining as that night she shone | E |
| but now to us she brings no balm | D |
| For something from our hearts is gone | F |
| - | |
| Something whose absence leaves a void | G |
| A cheerless want in every heart | H |
| Each feels the bliss of all destroyed | G |
| And mourns the change but each apart | H |
| - | |
| The fire is burning in the grate | I |
| As redly as it used to burn | J |
| But still the hearth is desolate | K |
| Till Mirth and Love with Peace return | J |
| - | |
| 'Twas Peace that flowed from heart to heart | H |
| With looks and smiles that spoke of Heaven | L |
| And gave us language to impart | H |
| The blissful thoughts itself had given | L |
| - | |
| Sweet child of Heaven and joy of earth | M |
| O when will Man thy value learn | J |
| We rudely drove thee from our hearth | N |
| And vainly sigh for thy return | J |
