Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKGLMNOCPH| When suddenly at midnight you hear | A |
| an invisible procession going by | B |
| with exquisite music voices | C |
| don't mourn your luck that's failing now | D |
| work gone wrong your plans | E |
| all proving deceptive don't mourn them uselessly | F |
| As one long prepared and graced with courage | G |
| say goodbye to her the Alexandria that is leaving | H |
| Above all don't fool yourself don't say | I |

| with whining the pleas of a coward | O |
| listen your final delectation to the voices | C |
| to the exquisite music of that strange procession | P |
| and say goodbye to her to the Alexandria you are losing | H |
