| If Love her beauteous eyes to earth incline | A |
| And all her soul concentring in a sigh | C |
| Then breathe it in her voice of melody | D |
| Floating clear soft angelical divine | A |
| My heart forth stolen so gently I resign | A |
| And all my hopes and wishes changed I cry | C |
| Oh may my last breath pass thus blissfully | D |
| If Heaven so sweet a death for me design | A |
| But the rapt sense by such enchantment bound | E |
| And the strong will thus listening to possess | F |
| Heaven's joys on earth my spirit's flight delay | G |
| And thus I live and thus drawn out and wound | E |
| Is my life's thread in dreamy blessedness | H |
| By this sole syren from the realms of day | G |

| Her bright and love lit eyes on earth she bends | I |
| Concentres her rich breath in one full sigh | C |
| A brief pause a fond hush her voice on high | C |
| Clear soft angelical divine ascends | I |
| Such rapine sweet through all my heart extends | I |
| New thoughts and wishes so within me vie | C |
| Perforce I say Thus be it mine to die | C |
| If Heaven to me so fair a doom intends | I |
| But ah those sounds whose sweetness laps my sense | J |
| The strong desire of more that in me yearns | K |
| Restrain my spirit in its parting hence | J |
| Thus at her will I live thus winds and turns | K |
| The yarn of life which to my lot is given | A |
| Earth's single siren sent to us from heaven | A |
