| Beneath a laurel two fair streams between | C |
| At early sunrise of the opening year | D |
| A milk white fawn upon the meadow green | C |
| Of gold its either horn I saw appear | D |

| As miners after treasure in the keen | C |
| Desire of new forget the old to fear | D |
| Let none impede so round its fair neck run | F |
| The words in diamond and topaz writ | G |
| My lord to give me liberty sees fit | G |
| And now the sun his noontide height had won | F |

| A form I saw with secret awe nor ken I what it warns | J |
| Pure as the snow a gentle doe it seem'd with silver horns | J |
| Erect she stood close by a wood between two running streams | K |
| And brightly shone the morning sun upon that land of dreams | K |

| Graceful she stepp'd but distant kept like the timid antelope | L |
| Playful yet coy with secret joy her image fill'd my soul | M |
| And o'er the sense soft influence of sweet oblivion stole | M |
| Gold I beheld and emerald on the collar that she wore | N |
| Words too but theirs were characters of legendary lore | N |

| Untouch'd by men o'er hill and glen I wander here at large | O |
| The sun had now with radiant brow climb'd his meridian throne | P |
| Yet still mine eye untiringly gazed on that lovely one | F |
| A voice was heard quick disappear'd my dream the spell was broken | F |
| Then came distress to the consciousness of life I had awoken | F |
