| - | |
| Within thy hallowed precincts on this sweet autumnal day | B |

| II | - |

| In memory's faithful mirror here once more we trace | E |

| And there the marble shaft its stately head | I |
| In polished whiteness pointing to the sky | - |

| VI | - |
| - | |
| Loved spot A solace to the living 'tis to know | L |
| That when at last life's fitful fever o'er | F |
| The cortege sad with solemn step and slow | L |
| Shall bear us here to rest forever more | F |
| - | |
| - | |
| VII | - |
| - | |
| 'Till that bright day when ransomed spirits rise | M |
| And loved and lost shall reunited be | H |
| To dwell in realms beyond the star lit skies | M |
| Throughout one circling vast eternity | H |
