Rhyme Scheme: ABCDECFGHI| Driven across many nations across many oceans | A |
| I am here my brother for this final parting | B |
| to offer at last those gifts which the dead are given | C |
| and to speak in vain to your unspeaking ashes | D |
| since bitter fortune forbids you to hear me or answer | E |
| O my wretched brother so abruptly taken | C |
| But now I must celebrate grief with funeral tributes | F |
| offered the dead in the ancient way of the fathers | G |
| accept these presents wet with my brotherly tears and | H |
| now forever my brother hail farewell | I |
