Rhyme Scheme: ABCC BDEDDE FGFFG| My brightest hopes are mix'd with tears | A |
| Like hues of light and gloom | B |
| As when mid sun shine rain appears | C |
| Love rises with a thousand fears | C |
| - | |
| To pine and still to bloom | B |
| When I have told my last fond tale | D |
| In lines of song to thee | E |
| And for departure spread my sail | D |
| Say lovely princess wilt thou fail | D |
| To drop a tear for me | E |

| O princess should my votive strain | F |
| Salute thy ear no more | G |
| Like one deserted on the main | F |
| I still shall gaze alas but vain | F |
| On wedlock's flow'ry shore | G |
