Rhyme Scheme: ABBC DEDE FGFG HIJK LMLM NONO PQRQ RBRB| A star is gone a star is gone | A |
| There is a blank in Heaven | B |
| One of the cherub choir has done | B |
| His airy course this even | C |
| - | |
| He sat upon the orb of fire | D |
| That hung for ages there | E |
| And lent his music to the choir | D |
| That haunts the nightly air | E |
| - | |
| But when his thousand years are pass'd | F |
| With a cherubic sigh | G |
| He vanish'd with his car at last | F |
| For even cherubs die | G |
| - | |
| Hear how his angel brothers mourn | H |
| The minstrels of the spheres | I |
| Each chiming sadly in his turn | J |
| And dropping splendid tears | K |
| - | |
| The planetary sisters all | L |
| Join in the fatal song | M |
| And weep this hapless brother's fall | L |
| Who sang with them so long | M |
| - | |
| But deepest of the choral band | N |
| The Lunar Spirit sings | O |
| And with a bass according hand | N |
| Sweeps all her sullen strings | O |
| - | |
| From the deep chambers of the dome | P |
| Where sleepless Uriel lies | Q |
| His rude harmonic thunders come | R |
| Mingled with mighty sighs | Q |
| - | |
| The thousand car bourne cherubim | R |
| The wandering eleven | B |
| All join to chant the dirge of him | R |
| Who fell just now from Heaven | B |
