Such wast thou now in earth below	A
Dust and a skeleton thou art	B
Above thy bones and clay	C
Here vainly placed by loving hands	D
Sole guardian of memory and woe	A
The image of departed beauty stands	D
Mute motionless it seems with pensive gaze	E
To watch the flight of the departing days	E
That gentle look that wheresoe'er it fell	F
As now it seems to fall	G
Held fast the gazer with its magic spell	F
That lip from which as from some copious urn	H
Redundant pleasure seems to overflow	A
That neck on which love once so fondly hung	I
That loving hand whose tender pressure still	J
The hand it clasped with trembling joy would thrill	J
That bosom whose transparent loveliness	E
The color from the gazer's cheek would steal	K
All these have been and now remains alone	L
A wretched heap of bones and clay	C
Concealed from sight by this benignant stone	L
	-
To this hath Fate reduced	M
The form that when with life it beamed	N
To us heaven's liveliest image seemed	N
O Nature's endless mystery	O
To day of grand and lofty thoughts the source	E
And feelings not to be described	P
Beauty rules all and seems	E
Like some mysterious splendor from on high	Q
Forth darted to illuminate	R
This dreary wilderness	E
Of superhuman fate	S
Of fortunate realms and golden worlds	E
A token and a hope secure	T
To give our mortal state	S
To morrow for some trivial cause	E
Loathsome to sight abominable base	E
Becomes what but a little time before	U
Wore such an angel face	E
And from our minds in the same breath	V
The grand conception it inspired	W
Swift vanishes and leaves no trace	E
What infinite desires	E
What visions grand and high	Q
In our exalted thought	X
With magic power creates true harmony	O
O'er a delicious and mysterious sea	O
The exulting spirit glides	E
As some bold swimmer sports in Ocean's tides	E
But oh the mischief that is wrought	X
If but one accent out of tune	Y
Assaults the ear Alas how soon	Y
Our paradise is turned to naught	X
	-
O human nature why is this	E
If frail and vile throughout	Z
If shadow dust thou art say why	Q
Hast thou such fancies aspirations high	Q
And yet if framed for nobler ends	E
Alas why are we doomed	A2
To see our highest motives truest thoughts	E
By such base causes kindled and consumed	A2
