In which I row'd you o'er the lake | O |
See there high waving o'er the park | N |
The elm I clamber'd for your sake | O |

You leave me leave this happy vale | Q |
These scenes I must retrace alone | R |
Without thee what will they avail | Q |

Who can conceive who has not proved | S |
The anguish of a last embrace | T |
When torn from all you fondly loved | U |
You bid a long adieu to peace | V |
- | |
This is the deepest of our woes | W |
For this these tears our cheeks bedew | U |
This is of love the final close | X |
Oh God the fondest last adieu | U |
