| Myrrh and music everywhere | F |
| Haunt its cascades like the hair | F |
| That a Naiad tosses cool | G |

| Still the wet wan mornings touch | K |
| Its gray rocks perhaps and such | K |
| Slender stars as dusk may have | L |
| Pierce the rose that roofs its wave | M |
| Still the thrush may call at noontide | E |
| And the whippoorwill at night | E |
| Nevermore by sun or moontide | E |
| Shall I see it gliding white | E |
| Falling flowing wild and white | E |
