| Take back the virgin page | B |
| White and unwritten still | C |
| Some hand more calm and sage | B |
| The leaf must fill | C |
| Thoughts come as pure as light | D |
| Pure as even you require | E |
| But oh each word I write | D |
| Love turns to fire | E |
| - | |
| Yet let me keep the book | F |
| Oft shall my heart renew | G |
| When on its leaves I look | F |
| Dear thoughts of you | G |
| Like you 'tis fair and bright | D |
| Like you too bright and fair | H |
| To let wild passion write | D |
| One wrong wish there | H |
| - | |
| Haply when from those eyes | I |
| Far far away I roam | J |
| Should calmer thoughts arise | I |
| Towards you and home | J |
| Fancy may trace some line | K |
| Worthy those eyes to meet | L |
| Thoughts that not burn but shine | K |
| Pure calm and sweet | L |
| - | |
| And as o'er ocean far | M |
| Seamen their records keep | N |
| Led by some hidden star | M |
| Through the cold deep | N |
| So may the words I write | D |
| Tell through what storms I stray | O |
| You still the unseen light | D |
| Guiding my way | O |
