The text of this poem is pencilled inside the back cover of the National Library of Australia's Main Reading Room (Overseas Monograph Collection) copy of Robert Lowe's Poems of a Life (1885 ed.). The book bears the pencil inscription 'Bertram Stevens' inside the front cover; it is possible the poem was written by Stevens.

Full text of poem:
Here lie the bones of Robert Lowe
A faithless friend a bitter foe
Who knows now Robert Lowe is dead
Whether his restless spirit's fled?
If to the realm of peace & love
Concord no longer reigns above
But if't has found a lower level
We must commiserate the devil
