| The knot of crape upon yon stately door | B |
| And sadness brooding o'er the sun bright halls | C |
| What do they signify | D |
| Death hath been there | E |
| Where truth and goodness hand in hand with love | F |
| Walk'd for so many years | G |
| Death hath been there | E |
| To do mid flowing tears his mighty work | H |
| Extinguishing the tyranny of pain | I |
| And taking the immortal essence home | J |
| Where it would be | K |
| Yet is there left behind | L |
| A transcript that we cherish and a chasm | M |
| We have no power to fill Almost it seems | N |

| Moving among us saintly and serene | P |
| Clear sighted upright held in high regard | Q |
| Yet meekly unambitious seeking nought | Q |
| Of windy honor from the mouth of men | R |
| But with the Gospel's perfect code content | Q |
| Breathing good will to all | S |

| On higher deeds and aims than earth supplies | W |
| An adept in that true philosophy | Q |
| Learnt only in Christ's school he calmly went | Q |
| Unto his Master and the Class above | F |
