| Son of the silent dark and humid Night | B |
| Consoler of the wretched by whose sway | C |
| The gloomy train of ills are put to flight | B |
| That blacken Life's uncertain tedious day | C |

| O succour now this restless pining heart | D |
| Give to these feeble weary limbs repose | E |
| Fly to me Sleep and let thy sombre wings | F |
| Over my couch their dusky plumes disclose | E |

| O where is Silence who avoids the light | B |
| Where the wild dreams that flutter in thy train | G |
| Alas in vain I call thee cruel Night | B |
| And flatter these insensate shades in vain | G |
| - | |
| And oh without thy cheering dews are shed | H |
| How full of hardships is the downy bed | H |
