Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHIH JKLM NOPO QROS ABCB| I cannot look upon thy grave | A |
| Though there the rose is sweet | B |
| Better to hear the long wave wash | C |
| These wastes about my feet | B |
| - | |
| Shall I take comfort Dost thou live | D |
| A spirit though afar | E |
| With a deep hush about thee like | F |
| The stillness round a star | E |
| - | |
| Oh thou art cold In that high sphere | G |
| Thou art a thing apart | H |
| Losing in saner happiness | I |
| This madness of the heart | H |

| And yet at times thou still shalt feel | J |
| A passing breath a pain | K |
| Disturb'd as though a door in heaven | L |
| Had oped and closed again | M |
| - | |
| And thou shalt shiver while the hymns | N |
| The solemn hymns shall cease | O |
| A moment half remember me | P |
| Then turn away to peace | O |
| - | |
| But oh for evermore thy look | Q |
| Thy laugh thy charm thy tone | R |
| Thy sweet and wayward earthliness | O |
| Dear trivial things are gone | S |
| - | |
| Therefore I look not on thy grave | A |
| Though there the rose is sweet | B |
| But rather hear the loud wave wash | C |
| These wastes about my feet | B |
