| And say what Truth might well have said | B |
| By all save one perchance forgot | A |
| Ah wherefore art thou lowly laid | C |
| - | |
| By many a shore and many a sea | D |
| Divided yet beloved in vain | E |
| The past the future fled to thee | D |
| To bid us meet no ne'er again | F |
| - | |
| Could this have been a word a look | G |
| That softly said 'We part in peace ' | - |
| Had taught my bosom how to brook | G |
| With fainter sighs thy soul's release | H |
| - | |
| And didst thou not since Death for thee | D |
| Prepared a light and pangless dart | I |
| Once long for him thou ne'er shaft see | D |
| Who held and holds thee in his heart | I |
| - | |
| Oh who like him had watch'd thee here | J |
| Or sadly mark'd thy glazing eye | K |
| In that dread hour ere death appear | L |
| When silent sorrow fears to sigh | K |
| - | |
| Till all was past But when no more | M |
| 'Twas thine to reek of human woe | N |
| Affection's heart drops gushing o'er | O |
| Had flow'd as fast as now they flow | N |
| - | |
| Shall they not flow when many a day | P |
| In these to me deserted towers | Q |
| Ere call'd but for a time away | P |
| Affection's mingling tears were ours | Q |
| - | |
| Ours too the glance none saw beside | R |
| The smile none else might understand | S |
| The whisper'd thought of hearts allied | R |
| The pressure of the thrilling hand | S |
| - | |
| The kiss so guiltless and refined | T |
| That Love each warmer wish forbore | O |
| Those eyes proclaim'd so pure a mind | T |
| Even Passion blush'd to plead for more | O |
| - | |
| The tone that taught me to rejoice | U |
| When prone unlike thee to repine | F |
| The song celestial from thy voice | U |
| But sweet to me from none but thine | F |
| - | |
| The pledge we wore I wear it still | V |
| But where is thine Ah where art thou | W |
| Oft have I borne the weight of ill | V |
| But never bent beneath till now | W |
| - | |
| Well hast thou left in life's best bloom | X |
| The cup of woe for me to drain | F |
| If rest alone be in the tomb | X |
| I would not wish thee here again | F |
| - | |
| But if in worlds more blest than this | Y |
| Thy virtues seek a fitter sphere | O |
| Impart some portion of thy bliss | Y |
| To wean me from mine anguish here | O |
| - | |
| Teach me too early taught by thee | D |
| To bear forgiving and forgiven | F |
| On earth by love was such to me | D |
| It fain would form my hope in heaven | F |
