Checkered with storm and sunshine gloom and light | B |
Now passing in pure cloudless skies away | A |
Withdrawing into silence of blank night | B |

Like the weird cloud of death that falls apace | C |
On the still features of the passive face | C |

Soothing and gentle as a mother's kiss | D |
The touch that stopped the beating of the heart | E |
A look so blissfully serene as this | D |
Not all the joy of living could impart | E |

The Master found her ready at his call | F |

On such a golden evening forth there floats | G |
Between the grave earth and the glowing sky | H |
In the clear air unvexed with hazy motes | G |
The mystic winged and flickering butterfly | H |
A human soul that drifts at liberty | I |
Ah who can tell to what strange paradise | J |
To what undreamed of fields and lofty skies | K |
