| A place upon thy Poet's grave | B |
| I welcome thee once more | C |
| But He who was on land at sea | D |
| My Brother too in loving thee | D |
| Although he loved more silently | D |
| Sleeps by his native shore | C |
| - | |
| Ah hopeful hopeful was the day | E |
| When to that Ship he bent his way | E |
| To govern and to guide | F |
| His wish was gained a little time | G |
| Would bring him back in manhood's prime | G |
| And free for life these hills to climb | G |
| With all his wants supplied | F |
| - | |
| And full of hope day followed day | E |
| While that stout Ship at anchor lay | E |
| Beside the shores of Wight | H |
| The May had then made all things green | I |
| And floating there in pomp serene | I |
| That Ship was goodly to be seen | I |
| His pride and his delight | H |
| - | |
| Yet then when called ashore he sought | J |
| The tender peace of rural thought | J |
| In more than happy mood | K |
| To your abodes bright daisy Flowers | L |
| He then would steal at leisure hours | L |
| And loved you glittering in your bowers | L |
| A starry multitude | K |
| - | |
| But hark the word the ship is gone | M |
| Returns from her long course anon | M |
| Sets sail in season due | N |
| Once more on English earth they stand | O |
| But when a third time from the land | O |
| They parted sorrow was at hand | O |
| For Him and for his crew | N |
| - | |
| Ill fated Vessel ghastly shock | P |
| At length delivered from the rock | P |
| The deep she hath regained | Q |
| And through the stormy night they steer | R |
| Labouring for life in hope and fear | R |
| To reach a safer shore how near | R |
| Yet not to be attained | Q |
| - | |
| Silence the brave Commander cried | F |
| To that calm word a shriek replied | F |
| It was the last death shriek | S |
| A few my soul oft sees that sight | H |
| Survive upon the tall mast's height | H |
| But one dear remnant of the night | H |
| For Him in vain I seek | S |
| - | |
| Six weeks beneath the moving sea | D |
| He lay in slumber quietly | D |
| Unforced by wind or wave | B |
| To quit the Ship for which he died | F |
| All claims of duty satisfied | F |
| And there they found him at her side | F |
| And bore him to the grave | B |
| - | |
| Vain service yet not vainly done | M |
| For this if other end were none | M |
| That He who had been cast | T |
| Upon a way of life unmeet | T |
| For such a gentle Soul and sweet | T |
| Should find an undisturbed retreat | T |
| Near what he loved at last | T |
| - | |
| That neighbourhood of grove and field | T |
| To Him a resting place should yield | T |
| A meek man and a brave | B |
| The birds shall sing and ocean make | U |
| A mournful murmur for 'his' sake | U |
| And Thou sweet Flower shalt sleep and wake | U |
| Upon his senseless grave | B |
William Wordsworth
