Rhyme Scheme: ABCDCEFGAHHIJKLMNONN OO| OF him I love day and night I dream'd I heard he was dead | A |
| And I dream'd I went where they had buried him I love but he was not | B |
| in that place | C |
| And I dream'd I wander'd searching among burial places to find him | D |
| And I found that every place was a burial place | C |
| The houses full of life were equally full of death this house is | E |
| now | F |
| The streets the shipping the places of amusement the Chicago | G |
| Boston Philadelphia the Mannahatta were as full of the dead | A |
| as of the living | H |
| And fuller O vastly fuller of the dead than of the living | H |
| And what I dream'd I will henceforth tell to every person and age | I |
| And I stand henceforth bound to what I dream'd | J |
| And now I am willing to disregard burial places and dispense with | K |
| them | L |
| And if the memorials of the dead were put up indifferently | M |
| everywhere even in the room where I eat or sleep I should be | N |
| satisfied | O |
| And if the corpse of any one I love or if my own corpse be duly | N |
| render'd to powder and pour'd in the sea I shall be | N |
| satisfied | O |
| Or if it be distributed to the winds I shall be satisfied | O |
