| Oh thus too early snatched away | G |
| From generous act and loving deed | H |

| The heaven pointing shaft for thee | E |
| Its stately head might never raise | I |
| But thy sweet memory would ever be | E |

| And to the world this beacon gave | K |
| With tears we'll water flowers that never fade | J |
| And gently drop upon his new made grave | K |
