Rhyme Scheme: ABBCADEFGHHIJJI| Poor Linley I shall miss thee sadly now | A |
| Thou art not in the world for few remain | B |
| Who loved like thee the high and holy strain | B |
| Of harmony's immortal master | C |
| Thou | A |
| Didst honour him and none I know who live | D |
| Could even a shadow a faint image give | E |
| With chord and voice of those rich harmonies | F |
| Which mingled in one mighty volume rise | G |
| Glorious from earth to heaven so to express | H |
| Choral acclaim to Heaven's almightiness | H |
| As thou Therefore amid the world's deep roar | I |
| When the sweet visions of young Hope are fled | J |
| And many friends dispersed and many dead | J |
| I grieve that I shall hear that voice no more | I |
