| Late as those eyes on my sunk cheek inclined | C |
| Whose paleness to the world seems of the grave | D |
| Compassion moved you to that greeting kind | C |
| Whose soft smile to my worn heart spirit gave | D |
| The poor frail life which yet to me is left | E |
| Was of your beauteous eyes the liberal gift | F |
| And of that voice angelical and mild | G |
| My present state derived from them I see | H |
| As the rod quickens the slow sullen child | G |
| So waken'd they the sleeping soul in me | H |
| Thus Lady of my true heart both the keys | I |
| You hold in hand and yet your captive please | I |
| Ready to sail wherever winds may blow | J |
| By me most prized whate'er to you I owe | J |
