Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH IIJJ KKGG LMNO PQRR| Come hither child who gifted thee | A |
| With power to touch that string so well | B |
| How darest thou rouse up thoughts in me | A |
| Thoughts that I would but cannot quell | B |
| - | |
| Nay chide not lady long ago | C |
| I heard those notes in Ula's hall | D |
| And had I known they'd waken woe | C |
| I'd weep their music to recall | D |
| - | |
| But thus it was one festal night | E |
| When I was hardly six years old | F |
| I stole away from crowds and light | E |
| And sought a chamber dark and cold | F |
| - | |
| I had no one to love me there | G |
| I knew no comrade and no friend | H |
| And so I went to sorrow where | G |
| Heaven only heaven saw me bend | H |
| - | |
| Loud blew the wind 'twas sad to stay | I |
| From all that splendour barred away | I |
| I imaged in the lonely room | J |
| A thousand forms of fearful gloom | J |
| - | |
| And with my wet eyes raised on high | K |
| I prayed to God that I might die | K |
| Suddenly in that silence drear | G |
| A sound of music reached my ear | G |
| - | |
| And then a note I hear it yet | L |
| So full of soul so deeply sweet | M |
| I thought that Gabriel's self had come | N |
| To take me to thy father's home | O |
| - | |
| Three times it rose that seraph strain | P |
| Then died nor breathed again | Q |
| But still the words and still the tone | R |
| Dwell round my heart when all alone | R |
