| Upon his suffering couch he lay | B |
| Whose noble form and mind | C |
| The stress of fourscore years had tried | D |
| Yet left a charm behind | C |
| The charm of heaven born happiness | E |
| Whose beauty may not fade | F |
| The charm of unimpair'd regard | G |
| For all whom God had made | F |
| - | |
| Upon his suffering couch he lay | B |
| While sadly gathering there | H |
| Were loved and loving ones who made | F |
| That honored life their care | H |
| And 'mid the group a daughter's voice | I |
| Of wondrous sweetness read | J |
| Brief portions from the Book Divine | K |
| As his dictation led | J |
| - | |
| Bow down thine ear Most Merciful | L |
| Oh hearken while I speak | M |
| Now in my time of utmost need | N |
| To Thee alone I seek | M |
| Shew me some token Lord for good | O |
| Before I pass away | B |
| For Thou hast ever been my strength | P |
| My comforter and stay | B |
| - | |
| So when that precious breath went forth | Q |
| Her gentle hand was laid | F |
| To close those pale and trembling lids | R |
| In slumber's dreamless shade | F |
| And then the pure and sacred flowers | S |
| She for his burial twined | C |
| And bade her struggling grief be still | T |
| Till the last rite declined | C |
| - | |
| Through every trial change of life | U |
| Had reign'd within her breast | V |
| A holy zeal of filial love | W |
| That could not be represt | V |
| Its memories like a music strain | X |
| Still in that casket swell | Y |
| And wake perchance some fond response | Z |
| Where watching angels dwell | Y |
