Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDD EFGHIIJJ KLHHHHCC MNOOPP QRS| When nightingales their lulling song | A |
| For me have breathed the whole night long | A |
| Thus soothed I sleep yet when awake | B |
| Again will joy my heart forsake | B |
| Pensive in love in sorrow pining | C |
| All other fellowship declining | C |
| Not such was once my blest employ | D |
| When all my heart my song was joy | D |
| - | |
| And none who knew that joy but well | E |
| Could tell how bright unspeakable | F |
| How far above all common bliss | G |
| Was then my heart's pure happiness | H |

| Gay tale and pleasant jest exchanged | I |
| Dreaming such joy must ever be | J |
| In love like that I bore for thee | J |
| - | |
| They that behold me little dream | K |
| How wide my spirit soars from them | L |
| And borne on fancy's pinion roves | H |
| To seek the beauteous form it loves | H |
| Know that a faithful herald flies | H |
| To bear her image to my eyes | H |
| My constant thought for ever telling | C |
| How fair she is all else excelling | C |
| - | |
| I know not when we meet again | M |
| For grief hath rent my heart in twain | N |
| For thee the royal court I fled | O |
| But guard me from the ills I dread | O |
| And quick I'll join the bright array | P |
| Of courteous knights and ladies gay | P |
| - | |
| Ugonet faithful messenger | Q |
| This to the Norman queen go bear | R |
| And sing it softly to her ear | S |
