| The air and scent the comfort and the shade | C |
| Of my sweet laurel and its flowery sight | D |
| That to my weary life gave rest and light | D |
| Death spoiler of the world has lowly laid | C |
| As when the moon our sun's eclipse has made | C |
| My lofty light has vanish'd so in night | D |
| For aid against himself I Death invite | D |
| With thoughts so dark does Love my breast invade | C |
| Thou didst but sleep bright lady a brief sleep | E |
| In bliss amid the chosen spirits to wake | F |
| Who gaze upon their God distinct and near | A |
| And if my verse shall any value keep | E |
| Preserved and praised 'mid noble minds to make | F |
| Thy name its memory shall be deathless here | A |

| The fragrant gale and the refreshing shade | C |
| Of my sweet laurel and its verdant form | G |
| That were my shelter in life's weary storm | G |
| Have felt the power that makes all nature fade | C |
| Now has my light been lost in gloomy shade | C |
| E'en as the sun behind his sister's form | G |
| I call for Death to free me from Death's storm | G |
| But Love descends and brings me better aid | C |
| He tells me lady that one moment's sleep | E |
| Alone was thine and then thou didst awake | F |
| Among the elect and in thy Maker's arms | H |
| And if my verse oblivion's power can keep | E |
| Aloof thy name its place on earth will take | F |
| Where Genius still will dote upon thy charms | H |
