Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCEFGFGHH| You know the story of my birth the name | A |
| Which I inherited for good and ill | B |
| The secret of my father's fame and shame | A |
| His tragedy and death on that dark hill | B |
| You know at least what the world knows or knew | C |
| For time has taken half the lookers on | D |
| As it took him and leaves his followers few | C |
| And those that loved him scarce or almost none | E |
| To me his son there had remained the story | F |
| Told and retold by her who knew it best | G |
| A mystery of love perhaps of glory | F |
| A heritage to hold and a bequest | G |
| Ah how it loved him that sad woman's heart | H |
| What faith was hers and what a martyr's part | H |
