Rhyme Scheme: ABC ABD EFEFAGAG| Such such is Death no triumph no defeat | A |
| Only an empty pail a slate rubbed clean | B |
| A merciful putting away of what has been | C |
| - | |
| And this we know Death is not Life effete | A |
| Life crushed the broken pail We who have seen | B |

| And your bright Promise withered long and sped | G |
| Is touched stirs rises opens and grows sweet | A |
| And blossoms and is you when you are dead | G |
