| 'How sweetly ' said the trembling maid | B |
| Of her own gentle voice afraid | B |
| So long had they in silence stood | C |
| Looking upon that moonlight flood | D |
| 'How sweetly does the moonbeam smile | E |
| To night upon yon leafy isle | E |
| Oft in my fancy's wanderings | F |
| I've wished that little isle had wings | F |
| And we within its fairy bowers | G |
| Were wafted off to seas unknown | H |
| Where not a pulse should beat but ours | G |
| And we might live love die alone | H |
| Far from the cruel and the cold | I |
| Where the bright eyes of angels only | J |
| Should come around us to behold | I |
| A paradise so pure and lonely | J |
| Would this be world enough for thee ' | - |
| Playful she turned that he might see | J |
| The passing smile her cheek put on | K |
| But when she marked how mournfully | J |
| His eyes met hers that smile was gone | L |
| And bursting into heartfelt tears | M |
| 'Yes yes ' she cried 'my hourly fears | N |
| My dreams have boded all too right | O |
| We part forever part to night | O |
| I knew I knew it could not last | P |
| 'T was bright 't was heavenly but 't is past | P |
| O ever thus from childhood's hour | Q |
| I've seen my fondest hopes decay | R |
| I never loved a tree or flower | Q |
| But 't was the first to fade away | R |
| I never nursed a dear gazelle | J |
| To glad me with its soft black eye | S |
| But when it came to know me well | J |
| And love me it was sure to die | S |
| Now too the joy most like divine | T |
| Of all I ever dreamt or knew | U |
| To see thee hear thee call thee mine | T |
| O misery must I lose that too ' | - |
