Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDDEEFFGGGHIJJKKL LMMNN| 'Tis death and peace indeed is here | A |
| And ease from shame and rest from fear | B |
| There's nothing can dismarble now | C |
| The smoothness of that limpid brow | C |
| But is a calm like this in truth | D |
| The crowning end of life and youth | D |
| And when this boon rewards the dead | E |
| Are all debts paid has all been said | E |
| And is the heart of youth so light | F |
| Its step so firm its eye so bright | F |
| Because on its hot brow there blows | G |
| A wind of promise and repose | G |
| From the far grave to which it goes | G |
| Because it hath the hope to come | H |
| One day to harbour in the tomb | I |
| Ah no the bliss youth dreams is one | J |
| For daylight for the cheerful sun | J |
| For feeling nerves and living breath | K |
| Youth dreams a bliss on this side death | K |
| It dreams a rest if not more deep | L |
| More grateful than this marble sleep | L |
| It hears a voice within it tell | M |
| Calm's not life's crown though calm is well | M |
| 'Tis all perhaps which man acquires | N |
| But 'tis not what our youth desires | N |
