Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFEF GCGA| Ah stranger if thy pilgrim footsteps love | A |
| By meditation led to wander here | B |

| Who weeps the loss of all his soul holds dear | D |

| Cold as this mourning marble is that heart | E |
| Which Virtue warm'd with pure and gen'rous heat | F |

| Shall Consolation like a seraph prove | C |
| When Sickness clos'd thy faultless life she gave | G |
| Another angel to the realms above | A |
