Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCBBADEFDEF A| Yes fled already is thy vital fire | A |
| And the fair promise of thy early bloom | B |
| Lost in youth's morn extinct sunk in the tomb | B |
| Mute in the grave sleeps thy enchanted lyre | C |
| And is it vainly that our souls aspire | C |
| Falsely does the presaging heart presume | B |
| That we shall live beyond life's cares and gloom | B |
| Grasps it eternity with high desire | A |
| But to imagine bliss feel woe and die | D |
| Leaving survivors to worse pangs than death | E |
| Not such the sanction of the Eternal Mind | F |
| The harmonious order of the starry sky | D |
| And awful revelation's angel breath | E |
| Assure these hopes their full effect shall find | F |
