| Not not for thee | B |
| Belov d child the burning grasp of life | C |
| Shall bruise the tender soul The noise and strife | C |
| And clamor of midday thou shalt not see | B |
| But wrapped for ever in thy quiet grave | D |
| Too little to have known the earthly lot | E |
| Time's clashing hosts above thine innocent head | F |
| Wave upon wave | D |
| Shall break or pass as with an army's tread | F |
| And harm thee not | E |
| - | |
| A few short years | G |
| We of the living flesh and restless brain | H |
| Shall plumb the deeps of life and know the strain | H |
| The fleeting gleams of joy the fruitless tears | I |
| And then at last when all is touched and tried | J |
| Our own immutable night shall fall and deep | K |
| In the same silent plot O little friend | L |
| Side by thy side | J |
| In peace that changeth not nor knoweth end | L |
| We too shall sleep | K |
