Ah dream too bright to last | D |
Ah starry Hope that didst arise | E |

For alas alas with me | F |
The light of Life is o'er | G |
No more no more no more | H |
Such language holds the solemn sea | F |
To the sands upon the shore | H |

And all my days are trances | F |
And all my nightly dreams | F |
Are where thy dark eye glances | F |
And where thy footstep gleams | F |
In what ethereal dances | F |
By what eternal streams | F |

Alas for that accursed time | I |
They bore thee o'er the billow | J |
From love to titled age and crime | I |
And an unholy pillow | J |
From me and from our misty clime | I |
Where weeps the silver willow | J |
