| The team is loosen'd from the wain | C |
| The boat is drawn upon the shore | D |
| Thou listenest to the closing door | D |
| And life is darken'd in the brain | C |
| Bright Phosphor fresher for the night | E |
| By thee the world's great work is heard | F |
| Beginning and the wakeful bird | F |
| Behind thee comes the greater light | E |

| The market boat is on the stream | G |
| And voices hail it from the brink | H |
| Thou hear'st the village hammer clink | H |
| And see'st the moving of the team | G |

| Sweet Hesper Phosphor double name | I |
| For what is one the first the last | J |
| Thou like my present and my past | J |
| Thy place is changed thou art the same | I |
