Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCADEDEFG| Not home to land and kindred wast thou brought | A |
| Nor laid 'mid trampled dead of battle won | B |
| Nor after long life filled with duty done | B |
| Was thine such death as thou thyself had'st sought | A |
| No sadder far with horror overwrought | A |
| That end that gave to thee thy cruel grave | C |
| Deep in blue chasms of some glacier cave | C |
| When Cervins perils thou the first had'st fought | A |
| And conquered Douglas for in thee uprose | D |
| In boyhood e'en a nature noble free | E |
| So gently brave with courtesy that those | D |
| Old Douglas knights the flowers of Chivalry | E |
| Had joyed to see that in our times again | F |
| A link of gold had graced their ancient chain | G |
