Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFDDGHIJKDL MNOPQRSSTUSAVWUXD| Hark ah the nightingale | A |
| The tawny throated | B |
| Hark from that moonlit cedar what a burst | C |
| What triumph hark what pain | D |
| - | |
| O wanderer from a Grecian shore | E |
| Still after many years in distant lands | F |
| Still nourishing in thy bewildered brain | D |
| That wild unquenched deep sunken old world pain | D |
| Say will it never heal | G |
| And can this fragrant lawn | H |
| With its cool trees and night | I |
| And the sweet tranquil Thames | J |
| And moonshine and the dew | K |
| To thy racked heart and brain | D |
| Afford no balm | L |
| - | |
| Dost thou tonight behold | M |
| Here through the moonlight on this English grass | N |
| The unfriendly palace in the Thracian wild | O |
| Dost thou again peruse | P |
| With hot cheeks and seared eyes | Q |
| The too clear web and thy dumb sister's shame | R |
| Dost thou once more assay | S |
| Thy flight and feel come over thee | S |
| Poor fugitive the feathery change | T |
| Once more and once more seem to make resound | U |
| With love and hate triumph and agony | S |
| Lone Daulis and the high Cephissian vale | A |
| Listen Eugenia | V |
| How thick the bursts come crowding through the leaves | W |
| Again thou hearest | U |
| Eternal passion | X |
| Eternal pain | D |
