| 'Mid dark thoughts of the gray tombstone | A |
| Not one of all the crowd to pry | B |
| Into thine hour of secrecy | C |
| Be silent in that solitude | D |
| Which is not loneliness for then | E |
| The spirits of the dead who stood | F |
| In life before thee are again | E |
| In death around thee and their will | G |
| Shall overshadow thee be still | G |
| The night tho' clear shall frown | H |
| And the stars shall not look down | H |
| From their high thrones in the Heaven | I |
| With light like Hope to mortals given | I |
| But their red orbs without beam | J |
| To thy weariness shall seem | J |
| As a burning and a fever | K |
| Which would cling to thee forever | K |
| Now are thoughts thou shalt not banish | L |
| Now are visions ne'er to vanish | L |
| From thy spirit shall they pass | M |
| No more like dew drops from the grass | M |
| The breeze the breath of God is still | G |
| And the mist upon the hill | G |
| Shadowy shadowy yet unbroken | I |
| Is a symbol and a token | I |
| How it hangs upon the trees | N |
| A mystery of mysteries | N |
