| That witching paleness which with cloud of love | C |
| Veil'd her sweet smile majestically bright | D |
| So thrill'd my heart that from the bosom's night | D |
| Midway to meet it on her face it strove | E |
| Then learnt I how 'mid realms of joy above | C |
| The blest behold the blest in such pure light | D |
| I scann'd her tender thought to others' sight | D |
| Viewless but my fond glances would not rove | E |
| Each angel grace each lowly courtesy | F |
| E'er traced in dame by Love's soft power inspired | G |
| Would seem but foils to those which prompt my lay | H |
| Upon the ground was cast her gentle eye | I |
| And still methought though silent she inquired | G |
| What bears my faithful friend so soon so far away | H |
