1 | 1 | When youthful faith has fled, | |
2 | 2 | Of loving take thy leave; | |
3 | 3 | Be | Be constant to the dead, |
4 | 4 | The dead cannot deceive. | |

6 | 6 | Sweet, modest flowers of spring, | |
7 | 7 | How fleet your balmy day! | |

11 | 11 | No earthly burst again | |
12 | 12 | Of gladness out of gloom; | |
13 | 13 | Fond hope and vision vain, | |
14 | 14 | Ungrateful to the tomb! | |
15 | |||
16 | But 't is an old belief, | ||

22 | And sin, and fate's control, | ||

24 | Of body and of soul. | ||
25 | |||

27 | That hope I'll not forego; | ||
28 | Eternal be the sleep, | ||
29 | Unless to waken so. |
