Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGH I| Oft as I hear thee wrapt in heavenly art | A |
| The massive message of Beethoven tell | B |
| With thy ten fingers to the people's heart | A |
| As if ten tongues told news of heaven and hell | B |
| Gazing on thee I mark that not alone | C |
| Ah not alone thou sittest there by thee | D |
| Beethoven's self dear living lord of tone | C |
| Doth stand and smile upon thy mastery | D |
| Full fain and fatherly his great eyes glow | E |
| He says From Heaven my child I heard thee call | F |
| For where an artist plays the sky is low | E |
| Yea since my lonesome life did lack love's all | F |
| In death God gives me thee thus quit of pain | G |
| Daughter Nannette in thee I live again | H |
