Rhyme Scheme: AABBCC DDEEFF GGHHII JJKKLL MNOOPPII| What would I choose to see when I | A |
| To this bright earth shall bid good bye | A |
| When fades forever from my sight | B |
| The world I've loved with long delight | B |
| What would I pray to look on last | C |
| When Death shall draw the Curtain fast | C |
| - | |
| I've loved the farewell of the Sun | D |
| Low lapsing after work well done | D |
| Or leaping from a sea forlorn | E |
| Gold glad to greet a day new born | E |
| Shall I elect to round my dream | F |
| The Sun I hail as Lord Supreme | F |
| - | |
| Ah no Of Heaven's shining host | G |
| It is the Moon I love the most | G |
| And if when I shall cease to be | H |
| God lets me keep one memory | H |
| Of loveliness that held me thrall | I |
| The Moon's the one I would recall | I |
| - | |
| The new Moon fine as pearly clip | J |
| From Cleopatra's finger tip | J |
| The ripe Moon vaulting o'er the trees | K |
| As ruddy as a Cheddar cheese | K |
| The late Moon frail and wanly fair | L |
| Relaxed on silver rocking chair | L |
| - | |
| But most of all the Moon intense | M |
| With radiant indifference | N |
| So placid glacid pure serene | O |
| Of all perfection proudly Queen | O |
| Oh Mistress Mine let me adore | P |
| Your beauty but one moment more | P |
| One last look Let the Curtain fall | I |
| Then let me look no more at all | I |
