Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECDE| The course of my long life hath reached at last | A |
| In fragile bark o'er a tempestuous sea | B |
| The common harbor where must rendered be | B |
| Account of all the actions of the past | A |
| The impassioned phantasy that vague and vast | A |
| Made art an idol and a king to me | B |
| Was an illusion and but vanity | B |
| Were the desires that lured me and harassed | A |
| The dreams of love that were so sweet of yore | C |
| What are they now when two deaths may be mine | D |
| One sure and one forecasting its alarms | E |
| Painting and sculpture satisfy no more | C |
| The soul now turning to the Love Divine | D |
| That oped to embrace us on the cross its arms | E |
