| PEACE what do tears avail | B |
| She lies all dumb and pale | B |
| And from her eye | C |
| The spirit of lovely life is fading | D |
| And she must die | C |
| Why looks the lover wroth the friend upbraiding | D |
| Reply reply | C |

| Hath she not dwelt too long | D |
| Midst pain and grief and wrong | D |
| Then why not die | C |
| Why suffer again her doom of sorrow | E |
| And hopeless lie | C |
| Why nurse the trembling dream until to morrow | E |
| Reply reply | C |

| Death Take her to thine arms | F |
| In all her stainless charms | F |
| And with her fly | C |
| To heavenly haunts where clad in brightness | G |
| The Angels lie | C |
| Wilt bear her there O Death in all her whiteness | G |
