Rhyme Scheme: AABCDEFGHIJKLMLENOPN QLNERF| Dust of my dust | A |
| And dust with my dust | A |
| O child who died as you entered the world | B |
| Dead with my death | C |
| Not knowing Breath though you tried so hard | D |
| With a heart that beat when you lived with me | E |
| And stopped when you left me for Life | F |
| It is well my child For you never traveled | G |
| The long long way that begins with school days | H |
| When little fingers blur under the tears | I |
| That fall on the crooked letters | J |
| And the earliest wound when a little mate | K |
| Leaves you alone for another | L |
| And sickness and the face of Fear by the bed | M |
| The death of a father or mother | L |
| Or shame for them or poverty | E |
| The maiden sorrow of school days ended | N |
| And eyeless Nature that makes you drink | O |
| From the cup of Love though you know it's poisoned | P |
| To whom would your flower face have been lifted | N |
| Botanist weakling Cry of what blood to yours | Q |
| Pure or foul for it makes no matter | L |
| It's blood that calls to our blood | N |
| And then your children oh what might they be | E |
| And what your sorrow Child Child | R |
| Death is better than Life | F |
