Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEG| BESIDE her ashen hearth she sate her down | A |
| Whence he she loved had fled | B |
| His children plucking at her sombre gown | A |
| And calling for the dead | B |
| - | |
| One came to her clad in the robes of May | C |
| And said sweet words of cheer | D |
| Bidding her bear the burden in God s way | C |
| And feel her loved ones near | D |
| - | |
| And she who spake thus would have given thrice blest | E |
| Long lives of happy years | F |
| To clasp his children to a mother s breast | E |
| And weep his widow s tears | G |
