| Gently to his slumbering | C |

| Make it where the meadows wide | D |
| Greenly lie on every side | D |
| Harvest fields he reaped and trod | E |
| Westering slopes of clover sod | E |
| Orchard lands where bloom and blow | F |
| Trees he planted long ago | F |

| Make it where the starshine dim | G |
| May be always close to him | G |
| And the sunrise glory spread | H |
| Lavishly around his bed | H |
| And the dewy grasses creep | A |
| Tenderly above his sleep | A |

| Since these things to him were dear | I |
| Through full many a well spent year | I |
| It is surely meet their grace | J |
| Should be on his resting place | J |
| And the murmur of the sea | B |
| Be his dirge eternally | B |
