Rhyme Scheme: AABB CDEE FFGG HHIJ| Gorgeous and splendid was the sight | A |
| From myriad lamps a fairy light | A |
| Enshrin'd in wreaths the Gothic wall | B |
| And heav'nly music fill'd the hall | B |
| - | |
| But there was one alas that I | C |
| Had ever seen the melody | D |
| Her voice surpassed and brighter far | E |
| Her eyes than ev'ry mimic star | E |
| - | |
| I gaz'd until oh thought divine | F |
| I fancied she I saw was mine | F |
| But soon the beauteous vision flew | G |
| The stranger form I lov'd withdrew | G |
| - | |
| Yet still she lives within my breast | H |
| There mem'ry has her form imprest | H |
| Thus when some minstrel's strain is done | I |
| Sounds seem to breathe for ever gone | J |
