Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFGGHHIIJK LLMMCC| No Muse will I invoke for she is fled | A |
| Lo where she sits breathing yet all but dead | A |
| She loved the heavens of old she thought them fair | B |
| And dream'd of Gods in Tempe's golden air | B |
| For her the wind had voice the sea its cry | C |
| She deem'd heroic Greece could never die | C |
| Breathless was she to think what nymphs might play | D |
| In clear green depths deep shaded from the day | D |
| She thought the dim and inarticulate god | E |
| Was beautiful nor knew she man a sod | E |
| But hoped what seem'd might not be all untrue | F |
| And feared to look beyond the eternal blue | F |
| But now the heavens are bared of dreams divine | G |
| Still murmurs she like Autumn This was mine | G |
| How should she face the ghastly jarring Truth | H |
| That questions all and tramples without ruth | H |
| And still she clings to Ida of her dreams | I |
| And sobs Ah let the world be what it seems | I |
| Then the shy nymph shall softly come again | J |
| The world once more make music for her pain | K |
| For sitting in the dim and ghostly night | L |
| She fain would stay the strong approach of light | L |
| While later bards cleave to her and believe | M |
| That in her sorrow she can still conceive | M |
| Oh let her dream still lovely is her sigh | C |
| Oh rouse her not or she shall surely die | C |
