| That day we brought our Beautiful One to lie | C |
| In the green peace within your gates he came | D |
| To give us greeting boyish and kind and shy | C |
| And stricken as we were we blessed his name | D |
| Yet like the Creature of Light that had been ours | E |
| Soon of the sweet Earth disinherited | F |
| He too must join even with the Year's old flowers | E |
| The unanswering generations of the Dead | F |
| So stand we friends for you who stood our friend | F |
| Through him that day for now through him you know | G |
| That though where love was love is till the end | F |
| Love turned of death to longing like a foe | G |
| Strikes when the ruined heart goes forth to crave | H |
| Mercy of the high austere unpitying Grave | H |
