| Aloof as if a thing of mood and whim | C |
| Now that its spare and desolate figure gleams | D |
| Upon my nearing vision less it seems | D |
| A looming Alp height than a guise of him | C |
| Who scaled its horn with ventured life and limb | C |
| Drawn on by vague imaginings maybe | E |
| Of semblance to his personality | E |
| In its quaint glooms keen lights and rugged trim | C |
| - | |
| At his last change when Life's dull coils unwind | F |
| Will he in old love hitherward escape | G |
| And the eternal essence of his mind | F |
| Enter this silent adamantine shape | G |
| And his low voicing haunt its slipping snows | H |
| When dawn that calls the climber dyes them rose | H |
