| What mean these noisy throbbings in my breast | B |
| After thy long unutterable woe | C |
| Wouldst thou not rest | B |
| - | |
| Fall'n from Life's tree the sweet rose blossom lies | D |
| And fragrant youth has fled What made to seem | E |
| This earth as fair to thee as Paradise | F |
| Was all a dream | E |

| Deep from the wound the blood drops ever flow | C |

| 'Drink for the draught is sweet ' I heard them say | I |
| 'Shalt learn how soft a thing forgetting is ' | - |
| I answered 'Nay ' | - |
| - | |
| What tho' indeed it were an idle cheat | J |
| Nathless to me 'twas very fair and blest | B |
| With every breath I draw I know that love | K |
| Reigns in my breast | B |
| - | |
| Let me go forth and thou my heart bleed on | L |
| A lonely spot I seek by night and day | I |
| That love and sorrow I may there breathe forth | M |
| In a last lay | I |
