Rhyme Scheme: ABCBADED FBABGHIH JKAKAAIA LAEAMNOP EIQRPDMD| I sit by the fire musing | A |
| With sad and downcast eye | B |
| And my laden breast gives utt rance | C |
| To many a weary sigh | B |
| Hushed is each worldly feeling | A |
| Dimmed is each day dream bright | D |
| O heavy heart can st tell me | E |
| Why I m so sad to night | D |
| - | |
| Tis not that I mourn the freshness | F |
| Of youth fore er gone by | B |
| Its life with pulse high springing | A |
| Its cloudless radiant eye | B |
| Finding bliss in every sunbeam | G |
| Delight in every part | H |
| Well springs of purest pleasure | I |
| In its high ardent heart | H |
| - | |
| Nor yet is it for those dear ones | J |
| Who ve passed from earth away | K |
| That I grieve in spirit kneeling | A |
| Above their beds of clay | K |
| O no while my glance upraising | A |
| To yon calm shining sky | A |
| My pale lips quivering murmur | I |
| They are happier than I | A |
| - | |
| But alas my spirit mourns | L |
| As weary it looks back | A |
| Finding naught of good or holy | E |
| On life s past barren track | A |
| I mourn for the countless errors | M |
| That on mem ry s page crowd on | N |
| And sorrow for lost chances | O |
| Of good I might have done | P |
| - | |
| But courage I must arouse me | E |
| The day is not yet o er | I |
| And I still may make atonement | Q |
| Ere leaving life s last shore | R |
| One act of meek oblation | P |
| A tear of penance bright | D |
| Will be counted as rare treasures | M |
| In heaven s loving sight | D |
