Rhyme Scheme: AABBCB DDEBBF GGHIIH BBJIKJ LLKDDK MNOPPO DDJQQJ| When night and silence deep | A |
| Hold all the world in sleep | A |
| As tho' Death claimed the Hour | B |
| By some strange witchery | B |
| Appears her form to me | C |
| As tho' Magic were her dow'r | B |
| - | |
| Her beauty heaven's light | D |
| Her bosom snowy white | D |
| But pale her cheek appears | E |
| Her shoulders firm and fair | B |
| A mass of gold her hair | B |
| Her eyes the home of tears | F |
| - | |
| She looks at me nor speaks | G |
| Her arms are raised she seeks | G |
| Her fettered hands to show | H |
| On both white wrists a chain | I |
| She cries and pleads in pain | I |
| Unbind me Let me go | H |
| - | |
| I burn with bitter ire | B |
| I leap in wild desire | B |
| The cruel bonds to break | J |
| But God around the chain | I |
| Is coiled and coiled again | K |
| A long and loathsome snake | J |
| - | |
| I shout I cry I chide | L |
| My voice goes far and wide | L |
| A ringing call to men | K |
| Oh come let in the light | D |
| Arise Ye have the might | D |
| Set Freedom free again | K |
| - | |
| They sleep But I strive on | M |
| They sleep Can'st wake a stone | N |
| That one might stir but one | O |
| Call I or hold my peace | P |
| None comes to her release | P |
| And hope for her is none | O |
| - | |
| But who may see her plight | D |
| And not go mad outright | D |
| Now up For Freedom's sake | J |
| I spring to take her part | Q |
| Fool cries a voice I start | Q |
| In anguish I awake | J |
