Not to be tuneless in old age | C |
Ah surely blest his pilgrimage | D |
Who in his Winter's snow | E |
Still sings with note as sweet and clear | F |
As in the morning of the year | F |
When the first violets blow | E |

Blest but more blest whom Summer's heat | G |
Whom Spring's impulsive stir and beat | G |
Have taught no feverish lure | H |
Whose Muse benignant and serene | I |
Still keeps his Autumn chaplet green | I |
Because his verse is pure | H |

Lie calm O white and laureate head | J |
Lie calm O Dead that art not dead | J |
Since from the voiceless grave | K |
Thy voice shall speak to old and young | L |
While song yet speaks an English tongue | L |
By Charles' or Thamis' wave | K |
