| The noble boy amid his sports | B |
| Droop'd like a smitten flower | C |
| That feels the frost king's fatal shaft | D |
| And withers in its bower | C |

| But then a younger darling sank | E |
| In childhood's rosy bloom | F |
| And those whose hearts were one from birth | G |
| Were brothers in the tomb | F |
| - | |
| Not in the tomb Ah no They rose | H |
| Through Christ their Saviour's love | I |
| In his blest presence to cement | J |
| Their deathless bond of love | I |

| Are they not dwelling side by side | K |
| Have they not 'scaped the strife | L |
| The snares the sins the woes that stain | M |
| This pilgrimage of life | L |

| Oh heart of sorrowing Love be strong | N |
| Tho' tenderest ties are riven | O |
| For do not earth's bereavments aid | P |
| The angel chant of Heaven | O |
