Rhyme Scheme: AAAABB CDCDBB EFEFBB| WITH steady march across the daisy meadow | A |
| And by the churchyard wall we go | A |
| But leave behind beneath the linden shadow | A |
| One who no more will rise and go | A |
| Farewell our brother here sleeping in dust | B |
| Till thou shalt wake again wake with the just | B |
| - | |
| Along the street where neighbor nods to neighbor | C |
| Along the busy street we throng | D |
| Once more to laugh to live and love and labor | C |
| But he will be remembered long | D |
| Sleep well our brother though sleeping in dust | B |
| Shalt thou not rise again rise with the just | B |
| - | |
| Farewell true heart and kindly hand left lying | E |
| Where wave the linden branches calm | F |
| 'T is his to live and ours to wait for dying | E |
| We win while he has won the palm | F |
| Farewell our brother But one day we trust | B |
| Call he will answer Thee God of the just | B |
