| Frail stranger at the gate of life | B |
| Too weak to grasp its key | C |
| O'er whom the Sun on car of gold | D |
| Hath but a few times risen and roll'd | D |
| Unnoticed still by thee | C |
| - | |
| To whom the toil of breath is new | E |
| In this our vale of time | F |
| Whose feet are yet unskill'd to tread | G |
| The grassy carpet round thee spread | G |
| At the soft vernal prime | F |
| - | |
| Deep sympathy and pitying care | H |
| Regard thy helpless moan | I |
| And 'neath thy forehead arching high | J |
| Methinks the brightly opening eye | J |
| Doth search for something gone | K |
| - | |
| Yon slumberer 'mid the snowy flowers | L |
| With young unfrosted hair | H |
| Awakes not at the mournful sound | M |
| Of bird like voices murmuring round | M |
| Why sleeps our Mother there | H |
| - | |
| Hers was that sunshine of the heart | N |
| Which Home's fair region cheer'd | O |
| Hers the upright unselfish aim | P |
| The fond response to duty's claim | P |
| The faith that never fear'd | O |
| - | |
| Oh mystery brooding oft so dark | Q |
| O'er this our path below | R |
| Not ours with wild repining sigh | J |
| To ask the wherefore or the why | J |
| But drink our cup of woe | R |
| - | |
| So in her shrouded beauty cold | D |
| Yield to the earth its own | I |
| Assured that Heaven will guard the trust | S |
| Of that which may not turn to dust | S |
| But dwells beside the Throne | I |
