Rhyme Scheme: A BC BA BDE F GH GF GII J KJ KJ KBB B EB EB ELL| Ye shadowy forms again ye're drawing near | A |
| - | |
| So wont of yore to meet my troubled gaze | B |
| Were it in vain to seek to keep you here | C |
| - | |
| Loves still my heart that dream of olden days | B |
| Oh come then and in pristine force appear | A |
| - | |
| Parting the vapor mist that round me plays | B |
| My bosom finds its youthful strength again | D |
| Feeling the magic breeze that marks your train | E |
| - | |
| Ye bring the forms of happy days of yore | F |
| - | |
| And many a shadow loved attends you too | G |
| Like some old lay whose dream was well nigh o'er | H |
| - | |
| First love appears again and friendship true | G |
| Upon life's labyrinthine path once more | F |
| - | |
| Is heard the sigh and grief revives anew | G |
| The friends are told who in their hour of pride | I |
| Deceived by fortune vanish'd from my side | I |
| - | |
| No longer do they hear my plaintive song | J |
| - | |
| The souls to whom I sang in life's young day | K |
| Scatter'd for ever now the friendly throng | J |
| - | |
| And mute alas each sweet responsive lay | K |
| My strains but to the careless crowd belong | J |
| - | |
| Their smiles but sorrow to my heart convey | K |
| And all who heard my numbers erst with gladness | B |
| If living yet roam o'er the earth in sadness | B |
| - | |
| Long buried yearnings in my breast arise | B |
| - | |
| Yon calm and solemn spirit realm to gain | E |
| Like the AEONIAN harp's sweet melodies | B |
| - | |
| My murmuring song breathes forth its changeful strain | E |
| A trembling seizes me tears fill mine eyes | B |
| - | |
| And softer grows my rugged heart amain | E |
| All I possess far distant seems to be | L |
| The vanish'd only seems reality | L |
