| For George and Sarah Green | B |
| Wept for that pair's unhappy fate | C |
| Whose grave may here be seen | B |
| - | |
| By night upon these stormy fells | D |
| Did wife and husband roam | E |
| Six little ones at home had left | F |
| And could not find that home | E |
| - | |
| For 'any' dwelling place of man | G |
| As vainly did they seek | H |
| He perish'd and a voice was heard | I |
| The widow's lonely shriek | H |
| - | |
| Not many steps and she was left | F |
| A body without life | J |
| A few short steps were the chain that bound | K |
| The husband to the wife | J |
| - | |
| Now do those sternly featured hills | L |
| Look gently on this grave | M |
| And quiet now are the depths of air | N |
| As a sea without a wave | M |
| - | |
| But deeper lies the heart of peace | O |
| In quiet more profound | K |
| The heart of quietness is here | P |
| Within this churchyard bound | K |
| - | |
| And from all agony of mind | Q |
| It keeps them safe and far | R |
| From fear and grief and from all need | S |
| Of sun or guiding star | R |
| - | |
| O darkness of the grave how deep | T |
| After that living night | U |
| That last and dreary living one | V |
| Of sorrow and affright | U |
| - | |
| O sacred marriage bed of death | W |
| That keeps them side by side | U |
| In bond of peace in bond of love | X |
| That may not be untied | U |
