| Silently I footed by an uphill road | C |
| That led from my abode to a spot yew boughed | C |
| Yellowly the sun sloped low down to westward | C |
| And dark was the east with cloud | C |
| - | |
| Then amid the shadow of that livid sad east | C |
| Where the light was least and a gate stood wide | C |
| Something flashed the fire of the sun that was facing it | C |
| Like a brief blaze on that side | C |
| - | |
| Looking hard and harder I knew what it meant | C |
| The sudden shine sent from the livid east scene | D |
| It meant the west mirrored by the coffin of my friend there | E |
| Turning to the road from his green | D |
| - | |
| To take his last journey forth he who in his prime | F |
| Trudged so many a time from that gate athwart the land | C |
| Thus a farewell to me he signalled on his grave way | G |
| As with a wave of his hand | C |
