Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFD GHGHII GHGJAK GLGLAA| Adieu 'tis past the dream is over | A |
| And we are friends no more | B |
| And now my task shall be to smother | A |
| Thoughts prized too well before | B |
| That we have ever loved or met | C |
| All but our parting to forget | C |
| - | |
| - | |
| Thou the first friend my heart had chosen | D |
| Whose wish whose hope was mine | E |
| Farewell the once warm vows are frozen | D |
| That lured my fate to thine | E |
| Each link of that bright chain is gone | F |
| That bound our mutual hearts in one | D |

| I will not blame my soul's believing | G |
| That ne'er thy faults could see | H |
| The error was thy own deceiving | G |
| Not mine who trusted thee | H |
| This heart can never learn to fear | I |
| Deceit in one it holds so dear | I |
| - | |
| - | |
| How could I hear without relying | G |
| Thy lute's wild melody | H |
| Though false as Echo's voice replying | G |
| To some lone wand'rer's cry | J |
| Unworthy as the scentless flower | A |
| Whose beauty is its only dower | K |
| - | |
| - | |
| Of all the moments since our meeting | G |
| When both seem'd fond and true | L |
| Now thou art cold as they were fleeting | G |
| Be this my last review | L |
| No more our hearts our fates must sever | A |
| And I erase thy name for ever | A |
