Rhyme Scheme: ABBCDEDE FGGFHIHI JKKJ| When old wounds bleed again | A |
| In the silence of the night | B |
| And mixt with sweet delight | B |
| Wells up the stream of pain | C |
| Is it less hard to endure | D |
| That when the sword struck first | E |
| So keen with edge so sure | D |
| Was that wild hour the worst | E |

| O then a too strong smart | F |
| O'erwhelmed the senses' power | G |
| Now in some tranquil hour | G |
| When fortified the heart | F |
| Is capable at ease | H |
| Of sorrow now returns | I |
| By exquisite degrees | H |
| Pain and in silence burns | I |
| - | |
| Is this still woe forlorn | J |
| Less than that fierce despair | K |
| Perhaps 'tis worse to bear | K |
| Because 'tis easier borne | J |
