Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCCB ACACCCCC ADADEEE FCFCGGGC| Leonainie Angels named her | A |
| And they took the light | B |
| Of the laughing stars and framed her | A |
| In a smile of white | B |
| And they made her hair of gloomy | C |
| Midnight and her eyes of bloomy | C |
| Moonshine and they brought her to me | C |
| In the solemn night | B |
| - | |
| In a solemn night of summer | A |
| When my heart of gloom | C |
| Blossomed up to greet the comer | A |
| Like a rose in bloom | C |
| All forebodings that distressed me | C |
| I forgot as Joy caressed me | C |
| LYING Joy that caught and pressed me | C |
| In the arms of doom | C |
| - | |
| Only spake the little lisper | A |
| In the Angel tongue | D |
| Yet I listening heard her whisper | A |
| 'Songs are only sung | D |
| Here below that they may grieve you | E |
| Tales but told you to deceive you | E |
| So must Leonainie leave you | E |
| While her love is young ' | - |
| - | |
| Then God smiled and it was morning | F |
| Matchless and supreme | C |
| Heaven's glory seemed adorning | F |
| Earth with its esteem | C |
| Every heart but mine seemed gifted | G |
| With the voice of prayer and lifted | G |
| Where my Leonainie drifted | G |
| From me like a dream | C |
