| By smiling water brooks we strolled | A |

| Nor any respite found | A |
| My thoughts as ghastly and as dark | U |
| As were the shades around | A |
| - | |
| What though since then in Stygian gloom | V |
| My soul to grope is given | W |
| Can earth be else but dull to him | X |
| Who once has tasted heaven | W |
