| Can this thy love undo me | E |

| Weep not as heavy hearted | F |
| Before I go For thou | G |

| To caves where sirens hover | I |
| Deep caves the dark waves cover | I |
| Down throat and hair and brow | G |

| But in thy sleep shalt follow | K |
| Thy bosom fierce to mine | L |
| Long arms wound warm and hollow | K |
| In sleep in sleep shalt follow | K |
| To save me from the brine | L |
| Dim eyes on mine divine | L |
| Deep breath at mine like wine | L |
| Sweet thou with dream soft kisses | C |
| To dream me onward home | M |
| White in white foam that hisses | C |
| Love's creature safe in foam | M |

| What Hero else for weeping | N |
| Than long lost hours of sleeping | N |
| And vestal vestured Dreams | C |
| Where thy Leander stooping | N |
| Sighs no dead eyelids drooping | N |
| No harsh hard looks accusing | N |
| No curls with ocean oozing | N |
| But then as now he seems | C |
| Sweet favored as can make him | O |
| Thy smile which is a might | D |
| A hope a god to take him | O |
| Thro' all this hell of night | D |

| Then where thy breasts are hollow | K |
| One kiss one kiss I go | K |
| Sweet soul a kiss to follow | K |
| Up whence thy breasts bud hollow | K |
| Cheeks than wood blossoms whiter | I |
| Eyes than dark waters brighter | I |
| Wherein the far stars glow | K |
| Look lovely when I leave thee | J |
| I go my love I go | K |
| Look lovely love nor grieve thee | J |
| That I must leave thee so | K |
