Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GDGD HIHI JKJK LELE MDMD| He has gone to his grave in the strength of youth | A |
| While life shone bright before him | B |
| And we who remember his worth and truth | A |
| Stand vainly grieving o'er him | B |
| - | |
| He has gone to his grave that manly heart | C |
| No more with life is glowing | D |
| And the tears to our eyes unbidden start | C |
| Our sad hearts' overflowing | D |
| - | |
| I gaze on his rooms as beneath I pace | E |
| And the past again comes o'er me | F |
| For I feel his grasp and I see his face | E |
| And his voice has a welcome for me | F |
| - | |
| I gaze on the river and see once more | G |
| His form in the race competing | D |
| And I hear the time of his well known oar | G |
| And the shouts his triumph greeting | D |
| - | |
| Flow on cold river Our bitter grief | H |
| No tears from thy waves can waken | I |
| Thy whisp'ring reed and thy willow leaf | H |
| By no sad sighs are shaken | I |
| - | |
| Thy banks are thronged by the young and gay | J |
| Who dream not of the morrow | K |
| No ear hast thou for a mournful lay | J |
| No sympathy with sorrow | K |
| - | |
| Flow on dull river Thy heedless wave | L |
| As it echoes shouts of gladness | E |
| Bears forms as stalwart and hearts as brave | L |
| As his whom we mourn in sadness | E |
| - | |
| But an arm more strong and a heart more bold | M |
| And with purer feelings glowing | D |
| Thy flowing waters shall ne'er behold | M |
| Till time has ceased from flowing | D |
