Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF| 'Twas but for a moment and yet in that time | A |
| She crowded the impressions of many an hour | B |
| Her eye had a glow like the sun of her clime | A |
| Which waked every feeling at once into flower | B |
| - | |
| Oh could we have borrowed from Time but a day | C |
| To renew such impressions again and again | D |
| The things we should look and imagine and say | C |
| Would be worth all the life we had wasted till then | D |
| - | |
| What we had not the leisure or language to speak | E |
| We should find some more spiritual mode of revealing | F |
| And between us should feel just as much in a week | E |
| As others would take a millennium in feeling | F |
