| A murmur of the restless deep | L |
| Was blent with every strain | E |
| A voice of winds that would not sleep | L |
| He never smiled again | F |

| Hearts in that time clos'd o'er the trace | M |
| Of vows once fondly pour'd | N |
| And strangers took the kinsman's place | M |
| At many a joyous board | N |
| Graves which true love had bath'd with tears | O |
| Were left to Heaven's bright rain | E |
| Fresh hopes were born for other years | P |
| He never smiled again | F |
