Rhyme Scheme: ABAB ACAC DEDE AAAA FGFG| The grave is deep and soundless | A |
| Its brink is ghastly lone | B |
| With veil all dark and boundless | A |
| It hides a land unknown | B |
| - | |
| The nightingale's sweet closes | A |
| Down there come not at all | C |
| And friendship's withered roses | A |
| On the mossy hillock fall | C |
| - | |
| Their hands young brides forsaken | D |
| Wring bleeding there in vain | E |
| The cries of orphans waken | D |
| No answer to their pain | E |
| - | |
| Yet nowhere else for mortals | A |
| Dwells their implored repose | A |
| Through none but those dark portals | A |
| Home to his rest man goes | A |
| - | |
| The poor heart here for ever | F |
| By storm on storm beat sore | G |
| Its true peace gaineth never | F |
| But where it beats no more | G |
