| Looked down on earth below | B |
| And coldly her wan light fell alike | C |
| On scenes of joy and woe | B |
| A stately palace reared its dome | D |
| Within reigned warmth and light | E |
| And festive mirth the moon s faint rays | F |
| Soft kissed its marble white | E |
| - | |
| A little farther was the home | D |
| Of toil alas and want | G |
| That spectre grim that countless hearths | H |
| Seems ceaselessly to haunt | I |
| And yet as if in mocking mirth | J |
| She smiled on that drear spot | K |
| Silvering brightly the ruined eaves | L |
| And roof of that poor cot | K |
| - | |
| And then with curious gaze she looked | M |
| Within a curtained loom | N |
| Where sat a girl of gentle mien | O |
| In young life s early bloom | N |
| Her glitt ring light made still more bright | E |
| The veil and bridal flower | P |
| Which were to wreathe the girl s fair brow | Q |
| In the morrow s solemn hour | P |
| - | |
| With changeless smile she gleamed within | R |
| A casement gloomy lone | S |
| Where lay a cold and rigid form | T |
| A death bed stretched upon | U |
| The fixed gaze of the half closed eyes | V |
| The forehead chill and white | E |
| The shroud and pall more ghastly looked | M |
| Wrapped thus in still silv ry light | E |
| - | |
| Long sadly gazed I then a thought | W |
| Sharp bitter filled my heart | X |
| Gainst that cold orb which in our joys | Y |
| And sorrows took no part | X |
| Which shone as bright o er couch of death | Z |
| In prison s darkened gloom | N |
| As o er the festal scenes of earth | J |
| Or stately palace room | N |
| - | |
| An inward voice reproved the thought | W |
| And whispered soft and low | B |
| Unto that glorious orb twas given | A2 |
| Its Maker s power to show | B |
| Throughout long ages has it shone | S |
| With pure undying flame | B2 |
| His will obeying Dreamer go | B |
| And do thou too the same | B2 |
