Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD EEFF GGBB HHII JJKK LLMM| Ah yes the chapter ends to day | A |
| We even lay the book away | A |
| But oh how sweet the moments sped | B |
| Before the final page was read | B |
| - | |
| We tried to read between the lines | C |
| The Author's deep concealed designs | C |
| But scant reward such search secures | D |
| You saw my heart and I saw yours | D |

| The Master He who penned the page | E |
| And bade us read it He is sage | E |
| And what he orders you and I | F |
| Can but obey nor question why | F |
| - | |
| We read together and forgot | G |
| The world about us Time was not | G |
| Unheeded and unfelt it fled | B |
| We read and hardly knew we read | B |
| - | |
| Until beneath a sadder sun | H |
| We came to know the book was done | H |
| Then as our minds were but new lit | I |
| It dawned upon us what was writ | I |
| - | |
| And we were startled In our eyes | J |
| Looked forth the light of great surprise | J |
| Then as a deep toned tocsin tolls | K |
| A voice spoke forth Behold your souls | K |
| - | |
| I do I do I cannot look | L |
| Into your eyes so close the book | L |
| But brought it grief or brought it bliss | M |
| No other page shall read like this | M |
