| AT HER RETURN HIS SORROWS VANISH | B |

| - | |
| I wept but now I sing its heavenly light | C |
| That living sun conceals not from my view | D |
| But virtuous love therein revealeth true | D |
| His holy purposes and precious might | C |
| Whence as his wont such flood of sorrow springs | E |
| To shorten of my life the friendless course | F |
| Nor bridge nor ford nor oar nor sails have force | F |
| To forward mine escape nor even wings | E |
| But so profound and of so full a vein | G |
| My suff'ring is so far its shore appears | H |
| Scarcely to reach it can e'en thought contrive | I |
| Nor palm nor laurel pity prompts to gain | G |
| But tranquil olive and the dark sky clears | H |
| And checks my grief and wills me to survive | I |
