Rhyme Scheme: AB CDCEFG HIA| Undertakers hearse drivers grave diggers | A |
| I speak to you as one not afraid of your business | B |
| - | |
| You handle dust going to a long country | C |
| You know the secret behind your job is the same whether | D |

| well oiled and noiseless or whether the | E |
| body is laid in by naked hands and then covered | F |
| by the shovels | G |
| - | |
| Your day's work is done with laughter many days of the year | H |
| And you earn a living by those who say good by today | I |
| in thin whispers | A |
