Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEDE FGHG IJKJ LMNM| I give thee back thy fickle heart | A |
| Thy faithless vows I've spurned | B |
| I bury deep the blighted hopes | C |
| That in my bosom burned | B |
| - | |
| Yet who had thought a brow so fair | D |
| From guile so seeming free | E |
| A voice so sweet so winning rare | D |
| So treacherous could be | E |
| - | |
| Who would have dreamed a form that seemed | F |
| Proud Honor's templed shrine | G |
| Could hold within an urn of sin | H |
| A soul so false as thine | G |
| - | |
| Nor strange 'twould be if ne'er again | I |
| Till age had wasted youth | J |
| That heart betrayed by such as thou | K |
| Could trust in human truth | J |
| - | |
| But go and though thy wiles no more | L |
| Will move my heart to strife | M |
| Canst glad thy vain soul with the thought | N |
| That thou hast wrecked a life | M |
