Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHEIJKLMNOPQRS T| Sainted old man for more than eighty years | A |
| Thee tranquilly and stilly creeping age | B |
| Led to the confines of the sepulchre | C |
| And thy last day on earth but Father Lord | D |
| Which art in heaven how pure a faith and heart | E |
| Unmoved amid the changes of this life | F |
| And tumult of the world and oh what hope | G |
| What love and constancy of the calm mind | H |
| And tears to misery from the inmost heart | E |
| Flowing at times a brief sweet smile and voice | I |
| How bland and studies various and profound | J |
| Of learned languages but ever first | K |
| That learning which the oracles of God | L |
| Unfolds even to the close of life's long day | M |
| Thy course accompanies | N |
| But thou farewell | O |
| And live this mortal veil removed in bliss | P |
| Live with the saints in light whom Christ had loved | Q |
| But pardon us left in this vale of tears | R |
| For one last tear upon thy cold remains | S |
| Pardon beloved and venerated shade | T |
