Since he is gone | B |
Each day is grown a dozen year | C |
And each hour one | D |

Cut off the sum | E |
By these soil'd tears | F |
Which only Thou | G |
Know'st to be true | H |
Days are my fears | I |

There's not a wind can stir | J |
Or beam pass by | K |
But straight I think though far | L |
Thy hand is nigh | K |
Come come | E |
Strike these lips dumb | E |
This restless breath | M |
That soils Thy name | N |
Will ne'er be tame | N |
Until in death | M |

Perhaps some think a tomb | O |
No house of store | P |
But a dark and seal'd up womb | O |
Which ne'er breeds more | P |
Come come | E |
Such thoughts benumb | E |
But I would be | Q |
With him I weep | R |
Abed and sleep | R |
To wake in Thee | Q |
