Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDEC FGHF IJJI| To day my friend is seventy five | A |
| He tells his tale with no regret | B |
| His brave old eyes are steadfast yet | B |
| His heart the lightest heart alive | A |
| - | |
| He sees behind him green and wide | C |
| The pathway of his pilgrim years | D |
| He sees the shore and dreadless hears | E |
| The whisper of the creeping tide | C |

| For out of all his days not one | F |
| Has passed and left its unlaid ghost | G |
| To seek a light for ever lost | H |
| Or wail a deed for ever done | F |

| So for reward of life long truth | I |
| He lives again as good men can | J |
| Redoubling his allotted span | J |
| With memories of a stainless youth | I |
