Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CACA ADAD EFEF GHGH| Thus pass the glories of the world | A |
| He lies beneath the pall's white folds | B |
| His sword is sheathed his pennon furled | A |
| Him silence holds | B |
| - | |
| The pilgrim staff the cockle shell | C |
| The crown the sceptre of his pride | A |
| The simple flower from forest dell | C |
| Heap at his side | A |
| - | |
| And add thereto the wild heart lute | A |
| The voice of love and twilight song | D |
| Those passioned strings though he is mute | A |
| Remember long | D |
| - | |
| And move not thence his evening book | E |
| The sifted grains of calm and storm | F |
| And bow before that dust strewn nook | E |
| And silent form | F |
| - | |
| To morrow hath no hope for him | G |
| No clasp of friend no grip of foe | H |
| Remember love with eyes tear dim | G |
| We too must go | H |
