| With his grandchild on his knee | B |
| Looking up at his wrinkled visage | C |
| For his winters were ninety three | B |

| Fair Eleanor's locks were flaxen | B |
| The old man's once were gray | D |
| But now they were white as the snow drift | E |
| That lay on the bleak highway | D |

| Her summers rolled on as golden | B |

| Like Winter embracing Spring | I |
| And the angels looked down from heaven | B |
| And smiled on their slumbering | I |
| - | |
| But soon the angelic faces | J |
| Were filled with seraphic light | K |
| As they gazed on a beauteous spirit | L |
| Passing up through the frosty night | K |
| - | |
| Till it stood serene before them | M |
| A youth most divinely fair | N |
| And they saw that the new born angel | O |
| Was the spirit of old Grandpere | N |
