| HEAVEN rest thee | B |
| We shall go about today | A |
| In our festal garlands gay | A |
| Whatsoever robes we wear | C |
| Not a trace of black be there | C |
| Well what matters none is seen | D |
| On thy daisy covering green | D |
| Or thy pure white pillow hid | A |
| Underneath a cofin lid | A |
| Heaven rest thee | B |

| Heaven take thee | B |
| Ay heaven only Sleeps beneath | E |
| One who died a virgin death | F |
| Died so slowly day by day | A |
| That it scarcely seemed decay | A |
| Till this lonely churchyard kind | A |
| Opened and we left behind | A |
| Nothing but a little dust | A |
| Heaven is pitiful and just | A |
| Heaven take thee | B |
| Heaven keep thee | B |
| Nevermore above the ground | A |
| Be one relic of thee found | A |
| Lay the turf so smooth we crave | G |
| None would guess it was a grave | G |
| Save for grass that greener grows | H |
| Or for wind that gentlier blows | H |
| All the earth o'er from this spot | A |
| Where thou wert and thou art not | A |
| Heaven keep thee | B |
