| Across the sodden tangled grass | B |
| Weed covered are the pathways where | A |
| No footsteps ever pass | B |
| No whispers wake no kisses die | C |
| No laughter thrills the dwindling flowers | D |
| Only the night hears sigh on sigh | C |
| From ghosts of long dead hours | D |

| None come here now to laugh or weep | E |
| The spider spins on stair and hall | F |
| And round the windows shadows creep | E |
| And loathly creatures crawl | F |
| Cold is the hearth the door is fast | G |
| No guest the silent threshold sees | H |
| Save ghosts out of the happy past | G |
| And one who is as these | H |
