As swiftly to his pallid brow | F |
Like crimson sunlight upon snow | G |

Thank God I die in peace he said | I |
And calmly yielding up his breath | J |
There trod the shadowy realms of death | J |

Behold his spirit spectre led | I |
Crowned with the amaranthine wreath | L |
That blooms not for the slave | K |
