| Can pierce the pulses of the heart | A |
| Can force the treasur'd tear to flow | B |
| In prodigality of woe | B |
| Or lure each jocund bliss to birth | C |
| Amid the sportive bow'rs of mirth | C |
| LAURA DIVINE I call thee now | D |
| To yonder promontory's brow | D |
| That props the skies while at its feet | E |
| With fruitless ire the billows beat | E |
| There let my fainting sense behold | F |
| Those sapphire orbs their heaven unfold | F |
| While from thy lips vermilion bow | D |
| Sweet melody her shafts shall throw | B |
| Yet do not do not yield delight | G |
| Nor with dear visions bless my sight | G |
| - | |
| Grant me despair thou mightiest Muse | H |
| O'er the vast scene thy spells diffuse | I |
| And with a mad terrific strain | J |
| Conjure up demons from the main | J |
| Storms upon storms indignant heap | K |
| Bid Ocean howl and Nature weep | K |
| 'Till the Creator blush to see | L |
| How horrible His World can be | L |
| While I will glory to blaspheme | M |
| And make the joys of hell my theme | M |
| Hah check this frenzy spare my soul | N |
| O'er my parch'd cheek soft sorrows roll | N |
| Subdue this vain impassion'd rage | O |
| An atom's energies assuage | O |
| Nor let a mortal wretch presume | M |
| To invocate so dire a doom | M |
| What tho' the EAGLE sits forlorn | P |
| And swoln and sad awaits the morn | P |
| When he may wave his golden wing | Q |
| From Night's detested gloom to spring | Q |
| And with the Sun's advancement fly | R |
| In full meridian blaze to die | R |
| Yet shall the chirping FINCH decay | S |
| Upon the hedgerow's wither'd spray | S |
| Ere the first beam of light is found | T |
| And drop unnotic'd to the ground | T |
| So I alas shall never see | L |
| The dawn of hope awake for me | L |
| Still as I turn new storms appear | U |
| And darker lours this mental sphere | U |
| Ah who shall one short comfort give | V |
| Or teach my struggling thought to live | W |
| - | |
| What hand my bleeding bosom bind | X |
| What MOSELEY medicate my mind | X |
| What Star disperse the thick'ning shade | Y |
| That bids my restless Being fade | Y |
| Yet I have seen the Lord of Day | S |
| Dart from his car the burning ray | S |
| And rush a hero to the fight | G |
| Across the pendant plains of light | G |
| I've seen the bashful Moon aspire | Z |
| To bind her brow with mimic fire | A2 |
| And o'er the calm translucent air | B2 |
| Diffusive shake her silver hair | B2 |
| I've paus'd enraptur'd at the tone | C2 |
| That from the Evening Copse is thrown | C2 |
| By the wild Poet of the glade | Y |
| Who rests his wing beneath the shade | Y |
| And I have prov'd th' unequal bliss | D2 |
| That burns upon the crimson kiss | D2 |
| When true adoring souls unite | G |
| To perish in the proud delight | G |
| These now are lost to me I stand | E2 |
| Alone in ev'ry peopled land | E2 |
| No pleasure now my cold heart cheers | F2 |
| The future points a vale of tears | G2 |
| Love rends my name from his bright page | O |
| And yields it to approaching age | O |
| Then lead me LAURA to the bow'r | H2 |
| Where sadly droops each with'ring flow'r | H2 |
| Where pois'nous shrubs disease exhale | I2 |
| And fev'rish vapours load the gale | I2 |
| There sink me to the sordid grief | J2 |
| That meanly supplicates relief | J2 |
| - | |
| There tell me I am most despis'd | K2 |
| E'en by thyself whom most I priz'd | K2 |
| So shall I gladly welcome fate | L2 |
| And perish in thy perfect hate | L2 |
| So shall I better bear th' eternal pain | J |
| Never to see thy Form or hear thy Voice again | M2 |
