Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCD| THE bow of promise this lost flaring star | A |
| Terror and hope are in mid heaven but She | B |
| The mighty wing'd crown'd Lady Melancholy | B |
| Heeds not O to what vision'd goal afar | A |
| Does her thought bear those steadfast eyes which are | A |
| A torch in darkness There nor shore nor sea | B |
| Nor ebbing Time vexes Eternity | B |
| Where that lone thought outsoars the mortal bar | A |
| Tools of the brain the globe the cube no more | C |
| She deals with in her hand the compass stays | D |
| Nor those industrious genius of her lore | C |
| Student and scribe thou gravest of the fays | D |
| Expect this secret to enlarge thy store | C |
| She moves through incommunicable ways | D |
