| Aye robe yourselves in black light messengers | B |
| Whose letter'd faces to the people tell | C |
| The pulse and pressure of the passing hour | D |
| 'Tis fitting ye should sympathize with them | E |
| And tint your tablets with a sable hue | F |
| Who bring them tidings of a loss so great | G |
| - | |
| What have they lost | H |
| An upright man who scorn'd | I |
| All subterfuge who faithful to his trust | J |
| Guarded the interests they so highly prized | K |
| With power and zeal unchang'd from youth to age | L |
| - | |
| Yet there's a sadder sound of bursting tears | M |
| From woe worn helpless ones from widow'd forms | N |
| O'er whom he threw a shelter for his name | O |
| Long mingled with their prayers both night and morn | P |
| The Missionary toward the setting sun | Q |
| Will miss his liberal hand that threw so wide | R |
| Its secret alms The sons of want will miss | S |
| His noble presence moving thro' our streets | T |
| Intent on generous deeds and in the Church | U |
| He loved so well a silence and a chasm | V |
| Are where the fervent and responsive voice | W |
| And kingly beauty of the hoary head | X |
| So long maintained their place | Y |
| Sudden he sank | Z |
| Though not unwarn'd | X |
| A chosen band had kept | X |
| Watch through the night and earnest love took note | X |
| Of every breath But when approaching dawn | A2 |
| Kindled the east and from the trees that bowered | X |
| His beautiful abode awakening birds | B2 |
| Sent up their earliest carol he went forth | C2 |
| To meet the glories of the unsetting sun | Q |
| And hear with unseal'd ear the song of heaven | Q |
| - | |
| So they who truest loved and deepest mourn'd | X |
| Had highest call to praise for best they knew | F |
| The soul that had gone home unto its God | X |
