Rhyme Scheme: AABCDE FGHBII JJKKCCAAJJLL AAMMMMNN| Hush hush my thoughts are resting on a changeless world of bliss | A |
| Oh come not with the voice of mirth to lure them back to this | A |
| 'Tis true we've much of sadness in our weary sojourn here | B |
| That fades and leaves no deeper trace than childhood's reckless tear | C |
| But there are woes which scathe the heart till all its bloom is o'er | D |
| A deadly blight we feel but once that once for evermore | E |
| - | |
| Oh then 'tis sweet on fancy's wing to cleave that bright domain | F |
| The loved and the redeemed are there why lure me back again | G |
| The cadences of gladness to your hearts may yet be dear | H |
| They have no melody for mine all all is desert here | B |
| The sunshine still is bright to you the moonlight and the flowers | I |
| To me they tell a harrowing tale of dear departed hours | I |

| I would not cull Hope's blossoms now they seem of deadly bloom | J |
| And can I love the sunshine when it smiles upon the tomb | J |
| When on one little hallowed spot its joyous beams are thrown | K |
| That sacred turf the all of earth I now may call my own | K |
| For there my joys are sepulchred my hopes are buried there | C |
| Yet with that holy earth are linked high thoughts that mock despair | C |
| Unfaltering faith that whispers of a purer world than this | A |
| Where spirits that are parted here may mingle into bliss | A |
| Deep trust that all our sinless hopes which death forbids to bloom | J |
| Shall ripen 'neath the cloudless sky that dawns beyond the tomb | J |
| Conviction firm that things of time were never yet designed | L |
| To quench the vast and deathless thirst of an immortal mind | L |
| - | |
| Then hush my thoughts are resting on a changeless world of bliss | A |
| There is no voice of gladness now can lure them back to this | A |
| I look to Thee Redeemer Oh be every crime forgiven | M |
| And take the weary captive to Thy paradise in Heaven | M |
| Or teach my heart resignedly to say Thy will be done | M |
| And calmly wait thy summons home thou just and holy One | M |
| Thou mayst have spoiled my cherished schemes to let my spirit see | N |
| That happiness is only found great God in serving Thee | N |
