Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGBGB GCGCHIHI| This is the end of all my ways | A |
| My wanderings on earth | B |
| My gloomy and my golden days | A |

| I've bought ten thousand blades of grass | C |
| To bed me down below | D |
| And here I wait the days to pass | C |
| Until I go | D |

| Until I bid good bye to friend | E |
| To feast and fast goodbye | F |
| And in a stint of soil the end | E |
| I seek of sun and sky | F |
| My farings far on land and sea | G |
| My trails of global girth | B |
| Sum up to this to cover me | G |
| Six feet of earth | B |

| My home of homes I hold in fee | G |
| For centuries to pass | C |
| When snug my skeleton will be | G |
| And grin up through the grass | C |
| When my grey ghost will bend above | H |
| And grieve to gracious God | I |
| This endless end of life and love | H |
| Six feet of sod | I |
