| Both gone Both smitten in their manly prime | B |
| Yet the fair transcript of their virtues here | C |
| And treasured memories of their boyhood's time | B |
| Allay the anguish of affection's tear | D |
| - | |
| One hath his rest amid the sacred shade | E |
| Whose turf reveals the mourner's frequent tread | F |
| And one beneath the unfathomed deep is laid | E |
| To slumber till the sea restores her dead | F |
| - | |
| The childless parents weep their broken trust | G |
| Hope's fountain failing at its cherish'd springs | H |
| And widow'd sorrow shrouds herself in dust | G |
| While one lone flowret to her bosom clings | H |
| - | |
| Yet no blind chance this saddening change hath wrought | I |
| No dark misrule this mortal life attends | J |
| A Heavenly Father's never erring thought | I |
| Commingles with the discipline He sends | J |
| - | |
| Not for His reasons let us dare to ask | K |
| His secret counsels not aspire to read | F |
| But faithful bow to each allotted task | K |
| And make His will our solace and our creed | L |
