| A gondolier | D |
| Sing sweetly down some slow Venetian stream | B |

| Italian skies that I have never seen | E |

| Oh thou dusk sorceress of the dusky eyes | H |
| And soft dark hair | I |
| 'T is thou that mak'st my skies | H |

| But far and strange thou still dost make them fair | I |

| Now thou dost sing and I am lost in thee | K |

| In floods of melody | K |
| Still in thy art | M |
| Give me this part | M |
| Till perfect love the love of loving crowns | L |
