| Though the day of my Destiny's over | B |
| And the star of my Fate hath declined o | C |
| Thy soft heart refused to discover | B |
| The faults which so many could find | D |
| Though thy Soul with my grief was acquainted | E |
| It shrunk not to share it with me | F |
| And the Love which my Spirit hath painted p | F |
| It never hath found but in Thee | F |

| Then when Nature around me is smiling | G |
| The last smile which answers to mine | H |
| I do not believe it beguiling q | I |
| Because it reminds me of thine | H |
| And when winds are at war with the ocean | J |
| As the breasts I believed in with me r | K |
| If their billows excite an emotion | J |
| It is that they bear me from Thee | F |

| Though the rock of my last Hope is shivered s | L |

| Though I feel that my soul is delivered | N |
| To Pain it shall not be its slave | M |
| There is many a pang to pursue me | F |
| They may crush but they shall not contemn | J |
| They may torture but shall not subdue me | F |
| 'Tis of Thee that I think not of them t | F |

| Though human thou didst not deceive me | F |
| Though woman thou didst not forsake | O |
| Though loved thou forborest to grieve me | F |
| Though slandered thou never couldst shake u | I |
| Though trusted thou didst not disclaim me | F |
| Though parted it was not to fly | A |
| Though watchful 'twas not to defame me | F |
| Nor mute that the world might belie v | F |

| Yet I blame not the World nor despise it | P |
| Nor the war of the many with one | J |
| If my Soul was not fitted to prize it | P |
| 'Twas folly not sooner to shun | J |
| And if dearly that error hath cost me | F |
| And more than I once could foresee | F |
| I have found that whatever it lost me w | - |
| It could not deprive me of Thee | F |

| From the wreck of the past which hath perished x | Q |
| Thus much I at least may recall | R |
| It hath taught me that what I most cherished | S |
| Deserved to be dearest of all | R |
| In the Desert a fountain is springing y | - |
| In the wide waste there still is a tree | F |
| And a bird in the solitude singing | G |
| Which speaks to my spirit of Thee | F |
