That pallid petal sweet | B |
It trembles gray and wan | A |
Beneath the passing feet | B |
- | |
But soft blown rose we know | C |
A merriment of bloom | D |
A life of sturdy glow | C |
But no such dear perfume | D |

As some good bard whose page | E |
Of life with beauty's fraught | F |
Grays on to ripe old age | E |
Sweet mellowed through with thought | F |

So when his hoary head | G |
Is wept into the tomb | D |
The mind which is not dead | G |
Sheds round it rare perfume | D |
