Rhyme Scheme: ABCBAD EFGFEG HFIFHI ABJBAJ KGLGKL MNLNML| That sky of clouds is not the sky | A |
| To light a lover to the pillow | B |
| Of her he loves | C |
| The swell of yonder foaming billow | B |
| Resembles not the happy sigh | A |
| That rapture moves | D |
| - | |
| Yet do I feel more tranquil far | E |
| Amid the gloomy wilds of ocean | F |
| In this dark hour | G |
| Than when in passion's young emotion | F |
| I've stolen beneath the evening star | E |
| To Julia's bower | G |
| - | |
| Oh there's a holy calm profound | H |
| In awe like this that ne'er was given | F |
| To pleasure's thrill | I |
| 'Tis as a solemn voice from heaven | F |
| And the soul listening to the sound | H |
| Lies mute and still | I |
| - | |
| 'Tis true it talks of danger nigh | A |
| Of slumbering with the dead tomorrow | B |
| In the cold deep | J |
| Where pleasure's throb or tears of sorrow | B |
| No more shall wake the heart or eye | A |
| But all must sleep | J |
| - | |
| Well there are some thou stormy bed | K |
| To whom thy sleep would be a treasure | G |
| Oh most to him | L |
| Whose lip hath drained life's cup of pleasure | G |
| Nor left one honey drop to shed | K |
| Round sorrow's brim | L |
| - | |
| Yes he can smile serene at death | M |
| Kind heaven do thou but chase the weeping | N |
| Of friends who love him | L |
| Tell them that he lies calmly sleeping | N |
| Where sorrow's sting or envy's breath | M |
| No more shall move him | L |
