Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDED FGFG HGHG IGIG JGJG| I am the only being whose doom | A |
| No tongue would ask no eye would mourn | B |

| Of feelings since subdued by care | G |
| And they have died so long ago | H |
| I hardly now believe they were | G |

| First melted off the hope of youth | I |
| Then Fancy's rainbow fast withdrew | G |
| And then experience told me truth | I |
| In mortal bosoms never grew | G |

| 'Twas grief enough to think mankind | J |
| All hollow servile insincere | G |
| But worse to trust to my own mind | J |
| And find the same corruption there | G |
