| A light has ceased the seaman's path to cheer | B |
| A star has left its ruby throne on high | A |
| A world forsook its sphere | B |
| Thy sisters bright pursue their circling way | C |
| But thou lone wanderer thou hast left our vault for aye | A |
| - | |
| Did Sin invade thy bowers | D |
| And Death with sable pinion sweep thine air | E |
| Blasting the beauty of thy fairest flowers | D |
| And God admit no prayer | E |
| Didst thou as fable saith wax faint and dim | F |
| With the first mortal breath between thy zone and Him | F |
| - | |
| Did human love with all | G |
| Its passionate might and meek endurance strong | H |
| The love that mocks at Time and scorns the pall | I |
| Through conflict fierce and long | H |
| Live in thy soul yet know no future's ray | C |
| Then mystic world 't was well that thou shouldst pass away | C |
| - | |
| Perchance a loftier fate | J |
| Removed thy radiance from our feeble sight | K |
| Did HE whose Spirit wills but to create | J |
| Far upward urge thy flight | K |
| From this low fraction of expiring time | L |
| To realms where ages roll as hours in peace sublime | L |
| - | |
| E'en there does science soar | M |
| With trembling pinion bright and eager eye | A |
| Striving to reach the still receding shore | M |
| That bounds the vision high | A |
| Immortal longings fill the fettered mind | N |
| Unfathomed glory lies around it veiled and shrined | N |
| - | |
| Oh when the brooding cloud | N |
| Shall pass like mist from o'er our straining sight | N |
| And as the sun born insect from its shroud | N |
| The soul speed forth in might | N |
| From phase to phase in Being's endless day | N |
| Shall we behold thy light and learn thy future way | N |
