| Alas well know I what sad havoc makes | C |
| Death of our kind how Fate no mortal spares | D |
| How soon the world whom once it loved forsakes | D |
| How short the faith it to the friendless bears | D |
| Much languishment I see small mercy wakes | D |
| For the last day though now my heart prepares | D |
| Love not a whit my cruel prison breaks | D |
| And still my cheek grief's wonted tribute wears | D |
| I mark the days the moments and the hours | D |
| Bear the full years along nor find deceit | A |
| Bow'd 'neath a greater force than magic spell | E |
| For fourteen years have fought with varying powers | D |
| Desire and Reason and the best shall beat | A |
| If mortal spirits here can good foretell | E |

| Alas I know death makes us all his prey | G |
| Nor aught of mercy shows to destined man | H |
| How swift the world completes its circling span | H |
| And faithless Time soon speeds him on his way | G |
| My heart repeats the blast of earth's last day | G |
| Yet for its grief no recompense can scan | H |
| Love holds me still beneath its cruel ban | H |
| And still my eyes their usual tribute pay | G |
| My watchful senses mark how on their wing | I |
| The circling years transport their fleeter kin | J |
| And still I bow enslaved as by a spell | E |
| For fourteen years did reason proudly fling | I |
| Defiance at my tameless will to win | J |
| A triumph blest if Man can good foretell | E |
