Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFGCHIHAJAJ KLLLKMNONO| Letter of love so strangely thrilling | A |
| With all your countless wonder yet | B |
| Though Time our heart's hot fires have mastered | C |
| Bringing a pang of pained regret | B |
| The while your blest receiver holds you | D |
| His banished passions still rebel | E |
| No longer reason sacrifices | F |
| His sentiment so then farewell | G |
| Destroyed be this love token treasured | C |
| For if 'tis read when time has flown | H |
| Deep in the buried soul 'twill waken | I |
| The torment vanished days have known | H |
| At first but a light scorn arousing | A |
| For silly childishness at last | J |
| With fiery yearning overwhelming | A |
| And jealousy for all the past | J |

| O Thou from whom a myriad letters | K |
| Speak with the breath of love to me | L |
| Though my gaze rest on thee austerely | L |
| Yet yet I cannot part with thee | L |
| Time has revealed with bitter clearness | K |
| How little thou with truth wert blessed | M |
| How like a child my own behaviour | N |
| Yet dear to me I still must save | O |
| This flower scentless without colour | N |
| From off my manhood's early grave | O |
