| While still it burned I saw so brightly lit | B |
| That splendour whence I drew my grievous woe | C |
| That from its sight alone could pleasure flow | C |

| But now that heaven hath robbed me of the blaze | E |
| Of that great fire which burned and nourished me | F |
| A coal that smoulders 'neath the ash am I | G |

| Unless Love furnish wood fresh flames to raise | E |
| I shall expire with not one spark to see | F |
| So quickly into embers do I die | G |
