Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CCDEFE| Pure as the mantle which o'er him who stood | A |
| By Jordan's stream descended from the sky | B |
| Is that remembrance which the wise and good | A |
| Leave in the hearts that love them when they die | B |
| - | |
| So pure so precious shall the memory be | C |
| Bequeathed in dying to our souls by thee | C |
| So shall the love we bore thee cherisht warm | D |
| Within our souls thro' grief and pain and strife | E |
| Be like Elisha's cruse a holy charm | F |
| Wherewith to heal the waters of this life | E |
