Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDDEFEGHIJJKBBLBM LNNOPPCAQQRRSSTUUTVV CBCWMMB| Art thou indeed forever gone | A |
| Forever ever lost to me | B |
| Must this poor bosom beat alone | C |
| Or beat at all if not for thee | B |
| Ah why was love to mortals given | D |
| To lift them to the height of Heaven | D |
| Or dash them to the depths of Hell | E |
| Yet I do not reproach thee dear | F |
| Ah no the agonies that swell | E |
| This panting breast this frenzied brain | G |
| Might wake my 's slumb'ring tear | H |
| Oh Heaven is witness I did love | I |
| And Heaven does know I love thee still | J |
| Does know the fruitless sick ning thrill | J |
| When reason's judgement vainly strove | K |
| To blot thee from my memory | B |
| But which might never never be | B |
| Oh I appeal to that blest day | L |
| When passion's wildest ecstasy | B |
| Was coldness to the joys I knew | M |
| When every sorrow sunk away | L |
| Oh I had never lived before | N |
| But now those blisses are no more | N |
| And now I cease to live again | O |
| I do not blame thee love ah no | P |
| The breast that feels this anguished woe | P |
| Throbs for thy happiness alone | C |
| Two years of speechless bliss are gone | A |
| I thank thee dearest for the dream | Q |
| 'Tis night what faint and distant scream | Q |
| Comes on the wild and fitful blast | R |
| It moans for pleasures that are past | R |
| It moans for days that are gone by | S |
| Oh lagging hours how slow you fly | S |
| I see a dark and lengthened vale | T |
| The black view closes with the tomb | U |
| But darker is the lowering gloom | U |
| That shades the intervening dale | T |
| In visioned slumber for awhile | V |
| I seem again to share thy smile | V |
| I seem to hang upon thy tone | C |
| Again you say 'Confide in me | B |
| For I am thine and thine alone | C |
| And thine must ever ever be ' | W |
| But oh awak ning still anew | M |
| Athwart my enanguished senses flew | M |
| A fiercer deadlier agony | B |
