Rhyme Scheme: AABBBCCAAADDEEEFFGGG AAHHHIJKKLJJMMMNNOOP AABBBCCAAADDEEEQQRRR| Who and what gave to me the wish to woo thee | A |
| Still lip to lip to cling for aye unto thee | A |
| Who made thy glances to my soul the link | B |
| Who bade me burn thy very breath to drink | B |
| My life in thine to sink | B |
| As from the conqueror's unresisted glaive | C |
| Flies without strife subdued the ready slave | C |
| So when to life's unguarded fort I see | A |
| Thy gaze draw near and near triumphantly | A |
| Yields not my soul to thee | A |
| Why from its lord doth thus my soul depart | D |
| Is it because its native home thou art | D |
| Or were they brothers in the days of yore | E |
| Twin bound both souls and in the link they bore | E |
| Sigh to be bound once more | E |
| Were once our beings blent and intertwining | F |
| And therefore still my heart for thine is pining | F |
| Knew we the light of some extinguished sun | G |
| The joys remote of some bright realm undone | G |
| Where once our souls were ONE | G |
| Yes it is so And thou wert bound to me | A |
| In the long vanish'd Eld eternally | A |
| In the dark troubled tablets which enroll | H |
| The Past my Muse beheld this blessed scroll | H |
| One with thy love my soul | H |
| Oh yes I learned in awe when gazing there | I |
| How once one bright inseparate life we were | J |
| How once one glorious essence as a God | K |
| Unmeasured space our chainless footsteps trod | K |
| All Nature our abode | L |
| Round us in waters of delight forever | J |
| Voluptuous flowed the heavenly Nectar river | J |
| We were the master of the seal of things | M |
| And where the sunshine bathed Truth's mountain springs | M |
| Quivered our glancing wings | M |
| Weep for the godlike life we lost afar | N |
| Weep thou and I its scattered fragments are | N |
| And still the unconquered yearning we retain | O |
| Sigh to restore the rapture and the reign | O |
| And grow divine again | P |
| And therefore came to me the wish to woo thee | A |
| Still lip to lip to cling for aye unto thee | A |
| This made thy glances to my soul the link | B |
| This made me burn thy very breath to drink | B |
| My life in thine to sink | B |
| And therefore as before the conqueror's glaive | C |
| Flies without strife subdued the ready slave | C |
| So when to life's unguarded fort I see | A |
| Thy gaze draw near and near triumphantly | A |
| Yieldeth my soul to thee | A |
| Therefore my soul doth from its lord depart | D |
| Because beloved its native home thou art | D |
| Because the twins recall the links they bore | E |
| And soul with soul in the sweet kiss of yore | E |
| Meets and unites once more | E |
| Thou too Ah there thy gaze upon me dwells | Q |
| And thy young blush the tender answer tells | Q |
| Yes with the dear relation still we thrill | R |
| Both lives though exiles from the homeward hill | R |
| One life all glowing still | R |
