| She stood within my heart warm young alone | C |
| As in a humble home a lady bright | D |
| By her last flight not merely am I grown | C |
| Mortal but dead and she an angel quite | D |
| A soul whence every bliss and hope is flown | C |
| Love shorn and naked of its own glad light | D |
| Might melt with pity e'en a heart of stone | C |
| But none there is to tell their grief or write | D |
| These plead within where deaf is every ear | E |
| Except mine own whose power its griefs so mar | F |
| That nought is left me save to suffer here | E |
| Verily we but dust and shadows are | F |
| Verily blind and evil is our will | G |
| Verily human hopes deceive us still | G |

| 'Mid life's bright glow she dwelt within my soul | I |
| The sovereign tenant of a humble cell | J |
| But when for heaven she bade the world farewell | J |
| Death seem'd to grasp me in his fierce control | I |
| My wither'd love torn from its brightening goal | I |
| My soul without its treasure doom'd to dwell | J |
| Could I but trace their grief their sorrow tell | J |
| A stone might wake and fain with them condole | J |
| They inly mourn where none can hear their woe | K |
| Save I alone who too with grief oppress'd | L |
| Can only soothe my anguish by my sighs | M |
| Life is indeed a shadowy dream below | K |
| Our blind desires by Reason's chain unbless'd | L |
| Whilst Hope in treacherous wither'd fragments lies | M |
