| Severely deeply vainly proved | B |
| Remember thou that dangerous hour | A |
| When neither fell though both were loved | C |
| - | |
| That yielding breast that melting eye | D |
| Too much invited to be blessed | E |
| That gentle prayer that pleading sigh | D |
| The wilder wish reproved repressed | E |
| - | |
| Oh let me feel that all I lost | F |
| But saved thee all that Conscience fears | G |
| And blush for every pang it cost | H |
| To spare the vain remorse of years | G |
| - | |
| Yet think of this when many a tongue | I |
| Whose busy accents whisper blame | J |
| Would do the heart that loved thee wrong | K |
| And brand a nearly blighted name | J |
| - | |
| Think that whate'er to others thou | L |
| Hast seen each selfish thought subdued | M |
| I bless thy purer soul even now | L |
| Even now in midnight solitude | M |
| - | |
| Oh God that we had met in time | N |
| Our hearts as fond thy hand more free | O |
| When thou hadst loved without a crime | N |
| And I been less unworthy thee | O |
| - | |
| Far may thy days as heretofore | P |
| From this our gaudy world be past | Q |
| And that too bitter moment o'er | A |
| Oh may such trial be thy last | Q |
| - | |
| This heart alas perverted long | K |
| Itself destroyed might there destroy | R |
| To meet thee in the glittering throng | K |
| Would wake Presumption's hope of joy | R |
| - | |
| Then to the things whose bliss or woe | S |
| Like mine is wild and worthless all | T |
| That world resign such scenes forego | S |
| Where those who feel must surely fall | T |
| - | |
| Thy youth thy charms thy tenderness | U |
| Thy soul from long seclusion pure | V |
| From what even here hath passed may guess | W |
| What there thy bosom must endure | V |
| - | |
| Oh pardon that imploring tear | X |
| Since not by Virtue shed in vain | Y |
| My frenzy drew from eyes so dear | Z |
| For me they shall not weep again | A2 |
| - | |
| Though long and mournful must it be | O |
| The thought that we no more may meet | B2 |
| Yet I deserve the stern decree | O |
| And almost deem the sentence sweet | B2 |
| - | |
| Still had I loved thee less my heart | C2 |
| Had then less sacrificed to thine | D2 |
| It felt not half so much to part | C2 |
| As if its guilt had made thee mine | D2 |
