Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCDEEDFGFG HIHJKKLMMLNONO| While gazing on the moon's light | A |
| A moment from her smile I turn'd | B |
| To look at orbs that more bright | A |
| In lone and distant glory burn'd | B |
| But too far | C |
| Each proud star | C |
| For me to feel its warming flame | D |
| Much more dear | E |
| That mild sphere | E |
| Which near our planet smiling came | D |
| Thus Mary be but thou my own | F |
| While brighter eyes unheeded play | G |
| I'll love those moonlight looks alone | F |
| That bless my home and guide my way | G |
| - | |
| The day had sunk in dim showers | H |
| But midnight now with lustre meet | I |
| Illumined all the pale flowers | H |
| Like hope upon a mourner's cheek | J |
| I said while | K |
| The moon's smile | K |
| Play'd o'er a stream in dimpling bliss | L |
| The moon looks | M |
| On many brooks | M |
| The brook can see no moon but this | L |
| And thus I thought our fortunes run | N |
| For many a lover looks to thee | O |
| While oh I feel there is but one | N |
| One Mary in the world for me | O |
