| 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! | |
| 8 | 8 | And man's brief year can bring | |
| 9 | 9 | No secondary May. | |
| 10 | 10 | ||
| 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, | ||
| 17 | That on some solemn shore, | ||
| 18 | Beyond the sphere of grief, | ||
| 19 | Dear friends will meet once more. | ||
| 20 | |||
| 21 | Beyond the sphere of time, | ||
| 22 | And sin, and fate's control, | ||
| 23 | Serene in changeless prime | ||
| 24 | Of body and of soul. | ||
| 25 | |||
| 26 | That creed I fain would keep | ||
| 27 | That hope I'll not forego; | ||
| 28 | Eternal be the sleep, | ||
| 29 | Unless to waken so. |
