Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFEDED GCGCGDGD GHGHIDID| WHEN soul in soul reflected | A |
| We breathed an thered air | B |

| When I found you helpless lying | G |
| And you waived my deep misprise | C |
| And swore me dying | G |
| In phantom guise | C |
| To wing to me when grieving | G |
| And touch away my woe | D |
| We kissed believing | G |
| We did not know | D |
| - | |
| But though your powers outreckoning | G |
| You hold you dead and dumb | H |
| Or scorn my beckoning | G |
| And will not come | H |
| And I say 'Twere mood ungainly | I |
| To store her memory so | D |
| I say it vainly | I |
| I feel and know | D |
