Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDDEEFFFGHH IIJKLLMN| The great hearted servant of whom you were jealous | A |
| sleeping her sleep in the humble grass | B |
| shouldn't we take her a few flowers | C |
| The dead the poor dead have griefs like ours | C |
| and when October sighs clipper of trees | D |
| round their marble tombs with its mournful breeze | D |
| they must find the living ungratefully wed | E |
| snug in sleep to the warmth of their bed | E |
| while they devoured by dark reflection | F |
| without bedfellow or sweet conversation | F |
| old skeletons riddled with worms deep frozen | F |
| feel the winter snows trickling round them | G |
| and the years flow by without kin or friend | H |
| to replace the wreaths at their railing's end | H |
| - | |
| If some night when the logs whistle and flare | I |
| seeing her sitting calm in that chair | I |
| if on a December night cold and blue | J |
| I might find her there placed in the room | K |
| solemn and come from her bed eternal | L |
| to guard the grown child with her eye maternal | L |
| what could I answer that pious spirit | M |
| seeing tears under her hollow eyelid | N |
