Rhyme Scheme: AABCDDEEFGHHII J| Lay down thy pilgrim staff upon this heap | A |
| And till the morning of redemption sleep | A |
| Old wayfarer of earth From youth to age | B |
| Long but not weary was thy pilgrimage | C |
| Thy Christian pilgrimage for faith and prayer | D |
| Alone enabled thee some griefs to bear | D |
| Lone in old age without a husband's aid | E |
| Thy wife shall pray beside thee to be laid | E |
| For more than a kind father didst thou prove | F |
| To fourteen children of her faithful love | G |
| May future fathers of the village trace | H |
| The same sure path to the same resting place | H |
| And future sons taught in their strength to save | I |
| Learn their first lesson from a poor man's grave | I |
