Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CBCB BDBE BBBB| When he who from the scourge of wrong | A |
| Aroused the Hebrew tribes to fly | B |
| Saw the fair region promised long | A |
| And bowed him on the hills to die | B |
| - | |
| God made his grave to men unknown | C |
| Where Moab's rocks a vale infold | B |
| And laid the aged seer alone | C |
| To slumber while the world grows old | B |
| - | |
| Thus still whene'er the good and just | B |
| Close the dim eye on life and pain | D |
| Heaven watches o'er their sleeping dust | B |
| Till the pure spirit comes again | E |
| - | |
| Though nameless trampled and forgot | B |
| His servant's humble ashes lie | B |
| Yet God has marked and sealed the spot | B |
| To call its inmate to the sky | B |
