Rhyme Scheme: A BCDBEDDEFGHIGH| E venni dal martirio a questa pace | A |
| - | |
| These words the poet heard in Paradise | B |
| Uttered by one who bravely dying here | C |
| In the true faith was living in that sphere | D |
| Where the celestial cross of sacrifice | B |
| Spread its protecting arms athwart the skies | E |
| And set thereon like jewels crystal clear | D |
| The souls magnanimous that knew not fear | D |
| Flashed their effulgence on his dazzled eyes | E |
| Ah me how dark the discipline of pain | F |
| Were not the suffering followed by the sense | G |
| Of infinite rest and infinite release | H |
| This is our consolation and again | I |
| A great soul cries to us in our suspense | G |
| I came from martyrdom unto this peace | H |
