| Restored our Earth to joy | B |
| Have you departed every one | A |
| And left a desert sky | C |
| - | |
| All through the night your glorious eyes | D |
| Were gazing down in mine | E |
| And with a full heart's thankful sighs | D |
| I blessed that watch divine | E |
| - | |
| I was at peace and drank your beams | F |
| As they were life to me | G |
| And revelled in my changeful dreams | F |
| Like petrel on the sea | G |
| - | |
| Thought followed thought star followed star | H |
| Through boundless regions on | I |
| While one sweet influence near and far | H |
| Thrilled through and proved us one | A |
| - | |
| Why did the morning dawn to break | J |
| So great so pure a spell | K |
| And scorch with fire the tranquil cheek | L |
| Where your cool radiance fell | K |
| - | |
| Blood red he rose and arrow straight | M |
| His fierce beams struck my brow | N |
| The soul of nature sprang elate | M |
| But mine sank sad and low | O |
| - | |
| My lids closed down yet through their veil | P |
| I saw him blazinig still | Q |
| And steep in gold the misty dale | P |
| And flash upon the hill | Q |
| - | |
| I turned me to the pillow then | R |
| To call back night and see | G |
| Your words of solemn light again | R |
| Throb with my heart and me | G |
| - | |
| It would not do the pillow glowed | S |
| And glowed both roof and floor | T |
| And birds sang loudly in the wood | U |
| And fresh winds shook the door | T |
| - | |
| The curtains waved the wakened flies | D |
| Were murmuring round my room | V |
| Imprisoned there till I should rise | D |
| And give them leave to roam | W |
| - | |
| O stars and dreams and gentle night | X |
| O night and stars return | Y |
| And hide me from the hostile light | X |
| That does not warm but burn | Y |
| - | |
| That drains the blood of suffering men | R |
| Drinks tears instead of dew | Z |
| Let me sleep through his blinding reign | A2 |
| And only wake with you | Z |
