| Had I believed that Death could set me free | C |
| From the anxious amorous thoughts my peace that mar | D |
| With these my own hands which yet stainless are | D |
| Life had I loosed long hateful grown to me | C |
| Yet for I fear 'twould but a passage be | C |
| From grief to grief from old to other war | E |
| Hither the dark shades my escape that bar | D |
| I still remain nor hope relief to see | C |
| High time it surely is that he had sped | F |
| The fatal arrow from his pitiless bow | G |
| In others' blood so often bathed and red | F |
| And I of Love and Death have pray'd it so | H |
| He listens not but leaves me here half dead | F |
| Nor cares to call me to himself below | H |

| Oh had I deem'd that Death had freed my soul | J |
| From Love's tormenting overwhelming thought | K |
| To crush its aching burthen I had sought | K |
| My wearied life had hasten'd to its goal | J |
| My shivering bark yet fear'd another shoal | J |
| To find one tempest with another bought | L |
| Thus poised 'twixt earth and heaven I dwell as naught | K |
| Not daring to assume my life's control | J |
| But sure 'tis time that Death's relentless bow | G |
| Had wing'd that fatal arrow to my heart | M |
| So often bathed in life's dark crimson tide | N |
| But though I crave he would this boon bestow | H |
| He to my cheek his impress doth impart | M |
| And yet o'erlooks me in his fearful stride | N |
