Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDED FGFG HIHI JKJK LDLD| Ask'st thou my home my pathway wouldst thou know | A |
| When from thine eye my floating shadow pass'd | B |
| Was not my work fulfill'd and closed below | A |
| Had I not liv'd and lov'd my lot was cast | B |
| - | |
| Wouldst thou ask where the nightingale is gone | C |
| That melting into song her soul away | D |
| Gave the spring breeze what witch'd thee in its tone | E |
| But while she lov'd she liv'd in that deep lay | D |
| - | |
| Think'st thou my heart its lost one hath not found | F |
| Yes we are one oh trust me we have met | G |
| Where nought again may part what love hath bound | F |
| Where falls no tear and whispers no regret | G |
| - | |
| There shalt thou find us there with us be blest | H |
| If as our love thy love is pure and true | I |
| There dwells my father sinless and at rest | H |
| Where the fierce murderer may no more pursue | I |
| - | |
| And well he feels no error of the dust | J |
| Drew to the stars of Heaven his mortal ken | K |
| There it is with us ev'n as is our trust | J |
| He that believes is near the holy then | K |
| - | |
| There shall each feeling beautiful and high | L |
| Keep the sweet promise of its earthly day | D |
| Oh fear thou not to dream with waking eye | L |
| There lies deep meaning oft in childish play | D |
