| With the light just quenched in their eyes | B |
| They lie in their graves 'neath the skies | B |
| And the fresh clod rests | C |
| Heavy upon their breasts | C |
| The white rose dies | B |
| Upon the new made mound and underneath | D |
| The lily shrivels in the shriveling hand | E |
| Pale guests of sovereign Death | F |
| They sought their silent beds at his command | E |
| And it seems | G |
| Strange that their life long dreams | G |
| Shall find them no more never bid them arise | B |
| And go forth with a glory in their eyes | B |

| Still voiceless cold | H |
| They lie in their shrouds and hold | H |
| The crumbling links that make | I |
| A chain for Memory's sake | I |
| Broken alas too soon | J |
| Blithe morn and brazen noon | J |
| And eve with garb of gray and gold | H |
| Know them no more in the dark ways they take | I |
| They have forgot the sun | K |
| And the fiery worlds that run | K |
| About it Something what let no man say | L |
| Begot of mystery is in mystery done | K |
| The rest shall be with them and God alway | M |
