| How beautiful in death | B |
| The young and lovely sleeper lies | C |
| Sweet calmness on the close sealed eyes | C |
| Flowers o'er the snowy neck and brow | D |
| Where lustrous curls profusely flow | E |
| If 'twere not for the icy chill | F |
| That from her marble hand doth thrill | F |
| And for her lip that gives no sound | G |
| And for the weeping all around | G |
| How beautiful were death | B |

| How beautiful in life | H |
| Her pure affections heavenward moving | I |
| Her guileless heart so full of loving | I |
| Her joyous smile her form of grace | J |
| Her clear mind lighting up the face | J |
| And making home a blessed place | J |
| Still breathing thro' the parents' heart | K |
| A gladness words could ne'er impart | K |
| A faith that foil'd affliction's dart | K |
| How beautiful her life | H |

| Gone to the Better Land | L |
| Before the world's cold mist could shade | M |
| The brightness on her spirit laid | M |
| Before the autumnal breeze might fray | N |
| One leaflet from her wreath away | N |
| Or crisp one tendril of the vine | O |
| That hope and happiness did twine | O |
| Gone in the soul's unfaded bloom | P |
| That dreads no darkness of the tomb | P |
| Gone to the Better Land | L |
