Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDD EEFFGG

While I listen to thy voiceA
Chloris I feel my life decayB
That powerful noiseC
Calls my flitting soul awayB
Oh suppress that magic soundD
Which destroys without a woundD
-
Peace Chloris peace or singing dieE
That together you and IE
To heaven may goF
For all we knowF
Of what the blessed do aboveG
Is that they sing and that they loveG
