| I saw her overlaid with many flowers | B |
| Such as the gorgeous summer drapes in snow | C |
| Stainless and fragrant as her memory | D |
| - | |
| Blent with their perfume came the pictur'd thought | E |
| Of her calm presence of her firm resolve | F |
| To bear each duty onward to its end | G |
| And of her power to make a home so fair | H |
| That those who shared its sanctities deplore | I |
| The pattern lost forever | J |
| - | |
| Many a friend | G |
| And none who won that title laid it down | K |
| Muse on the tablet that she left behind | L |
| Muse and give thanks to God for what she was | M |
| And what she is for every pain hath fled | N |
| That with a barb'd and subtle weapon stood | O |
| Between the pilgrim and the promised Land | P |
| But the deep anguish of the filial tear | H |
| We speak not of save with the sympathy | D |
| That wakes our own | Q |
| And so we bid farewell | R |

| Life's sun at setting may shed brighter rays | S |
| Than when it rose and threescore years and ten | T |
| May wear a beauty that youth fails to reach | U |
| The beauty of a fitness for the skies | V |
| Such nearness to the angels that their song | W |
| Peace and good will like key tone rules the soul | X |
| And the pure reflex of their smile illumes | V |
| The meekly lifted brow | Y |
| She taught us this | V |
| And then went home | Z |
