| Sweet girl though only once we met | B |
| That meeting I shall ne'er forget | B |
| And though we ne'er may meet again | C |
| Remembrance will thy form retain | D |
| I would not say 'I love ' but still | E |
| My senses struggle with my will | E |
| In vain to drive thee from my breast | F |
| My thoughts are more and more represt | F |
| In vain I check the rising sighs | G |
| Another to the last replies | G |
| Perhaps this is not love but yet | F |
| Our meeting I can ne'er forget | F |
| - | |
| What though we never silence broke | H |
| Our eyes a sweeter language spoke | H |
| The toungue in flattering falsehood deals | I |
| And tells a tale in never feels | I |
| Deceit the guilty lips impart | F |
| And hush the mandates of the heart | F |
| But soul's interpreters the eyes | G |
| Spurn such restraint and scorn disguise | G |
| As thus our glances oft conversed | F |
| And all our bosoms felt rehearsed | F |
| No spirit from within reproved us | J |
| Say rather ''twas the spirit moved us ' | - |
| Though what they utter'd I repress | K |
| Yet I conceive thou'lt partly guess | K |
| For as on thee my memory ponders | L |
| Perchance to me thine also wanders | L |
| This for myself at least I'll say | M |
| Thy form appears through night through day | M |
| Awake with it my fancy teems | N |
| In sleep it smiles in fleeting dreams | N |
| The vision charms the hours away | M |
| And bids me curse Aurora's ray | M |
| For breaking slumbers of delight | F |
| Which make me wish for endless night | F |
| Since oh whate'er my future fate | F |
| Shall joy or woe my steps await | F |
| Tempted by love by storms beset | F |
| Thine image I can ne'er forget | F |
| - | |
| Alas again no more we meet | F |
| No more former looks repeat | F |
| Then let me breathe this parting prayer | O |
| The dictate of my bosom's care | O |
| 'May heaven so guard my lovely quaker | P |
| That anguish never can o'ertake her | P |
| That peace and virtue ne'er forsake her | P |
| But bliss be aye her heart's partaker | P |
| Oh may the happy mortal fated | F |
| To be by dearest ties related | F |
| For her each hour new joys discover | P |
| And lose the husband in the lover | P |
| May that fair bosom never know | Q |
| What 't is to feel the restless woe | Q |
| Which stings the soul with vain regret | F |
| Of him who never can forget ' | - |
