| Well may these eyes of mine both near and far | B |
| Behold the beams that from thy beauty flow | C |
| But lady feet must halt where sight may go | C |
| We see but cannot climb to clasp a star | B |
| The pure ethereal soul surmounts that bar | B |
| Of flesh and soars to where thy splendours glow | C |
| Free through the eyes while prisoned here below | C |
| Though fired with fervent love our bodies are | B |
| Clogged with mortality and wingless we | D |
| Cannot pursue an angel in her flight | E |
| Only to gaze exhausts our utmost might | E |
| Yet if but heaven like earth incline to thee | D |
| Let my whole body be one eye to see | D |
| That not one part of me may miss thy sight | E |
