| I have desired and I have been desired | B |
| But now the days are over of desire | C |
| Now dust and dying embers mock my fire | C |
| Where is the hire for which my life was hired | B |
| Oh vanity of vanities desire | C |

| Longing and love pangs of a perished pleasure | C |
| Longing and love a disenkindled fire | C |
| And memory a bottomless gulf of mire | D |
| And love a fount of tears outrunning measure | C |
| Oh vanity of vanities desire | C |
| - | |
| Now from my heart love's deathbed trickles trickles | E |
| Drop by drop slowly drop by drop of fire | C |
| The dross of life of love of spent desire | C |
| Alas my rose of life gone all to prickles | E |
| Oh vanity of vanities desire | C |
| - | |
| Oh vanity of vanities desire | C |
| Stunting my hope which might have strained up higher | C |
| Turning my garden plot to barren mire | D |
| Oh death struck love oh disenkindled fire | C |
| Oh vanity of vanities desire | C |
