| The pomp of her morning is over | B |
| Her day star of pleasure refuses to dawn | A |
| She wanders a nocturnal rover | B |

| Alas she resembles Jerusalem's fall | C |
| The fate of that wonderful city | D |
| When grief with astonishment rung from the wall | C |
| Instead of the heart cheering ditty | D |
| - | |
| When music was silent no more to be rung | E |
| When Sion wept over her daughter | B |

| No more by her cluster surrounded | G |
| Her comrades of pleasure refuse her to cheer | F |
| And leave her dethron'd and confounded | H |
| - | |
| She looks like some Queen who has boasted in vain | I |
| Whose diamond refuses to glitter | B |
| Deserted by those who once bow'd in her train | I |
| Whose flight to her soul must be bitter | B |
| - | |
| She looks like the twilight her sun sunk away | J |
| He sets but to rise again never | B |
| Like the Eve with a blush bids farewell to the day | J |
| And darkness conceals her forever | B |
