| Oh what relief to gaze on yonder sky | B |
| Where all is holy calm and purely bright | C |
| Within the sound of mirth and revelry | D |
| Startles the timid ear of sober night | C |
| - | |
| - | |
| And eyes are bright and silver voices thrill | E |
| As the harp echoes through the glittering hall | F |
| The jest is there that wakes the laugh at will | E |
| And mirth has cast her fairy spell o'er all | F |

| I turn fair spirit of light where peaceful thou | G |
| Art shining in unatler'd majesty | D |
| The thin clouds float across thy placid brow | G |
| And catch its silver beam in passing by | B |
| - | |
| To night oh on this night nor many years | H |
| Have wasted since in sad regret and pain | I |
| Upon the wave the sound of woe and tears | J |
| And frantic pray'rs arose arose in vain | I |
| - | |
| - | |
| Thy light was shrouded then in deepest gloom | K |
| On that dark coast no friendly radiance shone | L |
| To warn the victims of their gaping tomb | K |
| Despair and death and horror reign'd alone | L |
| - | |
| - | |
| Shine on shine on thou treacherous planet still | E |
| Gild with thy beams the now untroubled wave | M |
| Alas thou fair and fatal cause of ill | E |
| Thy smiles are lovely but too late to save | M |
