Rhyme Scheme: A BCCBBCCBDEFDEF| WRITTEN ON REVISITING BRUNSWICK IN THE SUMMER OF | A |
| - | |
| Among the many lives that I have known | B |
| None I remember more serene and sweet | C |
| More rounded in itself and more complete | C |
| Than his who lies beneath this funeral stone | B |
| These pines that murmur in low monotone | B |
| These walks frequented by scholastic feet | C |
| Were all his world but in this calm retreat | C |
| For him the Teacher's chair became a throne | B |
| With fond affection memory loves to dwell | D |
| On the old days when his example made | E |
| A pastime of the toil of tongue and pen | F |
| And now amid the groves he loved so well | D |
| That naught could lure him from their grateful shade | E |
| He sleeps but wakes elsewhere for God hath said Amen | F |
