Rhyme Scheme: ABACCB DEDFFE GHGEIH| And now that you are dead If I should die | A |
| Upon this ground | B |
| And open my new eye | A |
| I d leave my body dead | C |
| Just like a garment shed | C |
| Without a sound | B |
| - | |
| And go to you within that dingy room | D |
| Above the stair | E |
| To find you in the gloom | D |
| As though you sadly dozed | F |
| With dead eyes partly closed | F |
| Within your chair | E |
| - | |
| Then would I find you sad who used to weep | G |
| At death s delay | H |
| And I would notice creep | G |
| Upon your cheek a tear | E |
| At finding Heaven so near | I |
| And Earth so far away | H |
