| - | |
| WHY should I wish to hold in this low sphere | B |
| 'A frail and feverish being ' wherefore try | C |
| Poorly from day to day to linger here | D |
| Against the powerful hand of Destiny | E |
| By those who know the force of hopeless care | F |
| On the worn heart I sure shall be forgiven | G |
| If to elude dark guilt and dire despair | F |
| I go uncall'd to mercy and to heaven | G |
| O thou to save whose peace I now depart | H |
| Will thy soft mind thy poor lost friend deplore | I |
| When worms shall feed on this devoted heart | H |
| Where even thy image shall be found no more | I |
| Yet may thy pity mingle not with pain | J |
| For then thy hapless lover dies in vain | J |
