Doth in this mortal state | D |
Its tone its fragrance or its glow | C |
Communicate | D |

Since all that lives and moves | E |
Upon the earth bestows | F |

Its thorn or rose | F |

Since April to the trees | H |
Gives a bewitching sound | I |
And sombre night to grief gives ease | H |

Since day spring on the flower | J |
A fresh'ning drop confers | K |
And the fresh air on branch and bower | J |
Its choristers | K |

Since the dark wave bestows | K |
A soft caress imprest | I |
On the green bank to which it goes | K |
Seeking its rest | I |

I give thee at this hour | J |
Thus fondly bent o'er thee | A |

My vows untold receive | N |
All pure before thee laid | I |
Receive of all the days I live | O |
The light or shade | I |

My hours with rapture fill'd | I |
Which no suspicion wrongs | K |
And all the blandishments distill'd | I |
From all my songs | K |
- | |
My spirit whose essay | K |
Flies fearless wild and free | A |
And hath and seeks to guide its way | K |
No star but thee | A |
- | |
No pensive dreamy Muse | K |
Who though all else should smile | P |
Oft as thou weep'st with thee would choose | K |
To weep the while | P |
- | |
Oh sweetest mine this gift | I |
Receive 'tis throe alone | Q |
My heart of which there's nothing left | I |
When Love is gone | R |
