Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHIH| Sweet spirit if thy airy sleep | A |
| Nor sees my tears not hears my sighs | B |
| Then will I weep in anguish weep | A |
| Till the last heart's drop fills mine eyes | B |
| - | |
| But if thy sainted soul can feel | C |
| And mingles in our misery | D |
| Then then my breaking heart I'll seal | C |
| Thou shalt not hear one sigh from me | D |

| The beam of morn was on the stream | E |
| But sullen clouds the day deform | F |
| Like thee was that young orient beam | E |
| Like death alas that sullen storm | F |

| Thou wert not formed for living here | G |
| So linked thy soul was with the sky | H |
| Yet ah we held thee all so dear | I |
| We thought thou wert not formed to die | H |
