Rhyme Scheme: ABBC DEED FGGF HIIH AJJC KLLK CGGC MNNO LPPL| Go forth for she is gone | A |
| With the golden light of her wavy hair | B |
| She is gone to the fields of the viewless air | B |
| She hath left her dwelling lone | C |
| - | |
| Her voice hath pass'd away | D |
| It hath pass'd away like a summer breeze | E |
| When it leaves the hills for the far blue seas | E |
| Where we may not trace its way | D |
| - | |
| Go forth and like her be free | F |
| With thy radiant wing and thy glancing eye | G |
| Thou hast all the range of the sunny sky | G |
| And what is our grief to thee | F |
| - | |
| Is it aught ev'n to her we mourn | H |
| Doth she look on the tears by her kindred shed | I |
| Doth she rest with the flowers o'er her gentle head | I |
| Or float on the light wind borne | H |
| - | |
| We know not but she is gone | A |
| Her step from the dance her voice from the song | J |
| And the smile of her eye from the festal throng | J |
| She hath left her dwelling lone | C |
| - | |
| When the waves at sunset shine | K |
| We may hear thy voice amidst thousands more | L |
| In the scented woods of our glowing shore | L |
| But we shall not know 'tis thine | K |
| - | |
| Ev'n so with the lov'd one flown | C |
| Her smile in the starlight may wander by | G |
| Her breath may be near in the wind's low sigh | G |
| Around us but all unknown | C |
| - | |
| Go forth we have loos'd thy chain | M |
| We may deck thy cage with the richest flowers | N |
| Which the bright day rears in our eastern bowers | N |
| But thou wilt not be lur'd again | O |
| - | |
| Ev'n thus may the summer pour | L |
| All fragrant things on the land's green breast | P |
| And the glorious earth like a bride be dress'd | P |
| But it wins her back no more | L |
