Rhyme Scheme: ABABAB CDCDCD EFCFCF| Give me thy heart I leave thee mine | A |
| But oh till next our pulses meet | B |
| May my fond spirit round thee shine | A |
| Absorb thy soul and guide thy feet | B |
| And then no more my passion pine | A |
| My bosom idly beat | B |
| - | |
| I have thy pledge yet take it back | C |
| If ever for a moment thou | D |
| In sweet resolve shouldst prove less slack | C |
| Than I at parting leave thee now | D |
| Love's steady light must mark our track | C |
| And not a flickering vow | D |
| - | |
| But if when past this parting ache | E |
| I gaze upon thy face once more | F |
| Thou still Love's burning thirst wouldst slake | C |
| Still to Love's topmost heights wouldst soar | F |
| Oh then my life's full tide shall break | C |
| On thee as on its shore | F |
