| Save for the beating of her heart | B |

| Their eyes black stars in all their snow | I |
| And softly in the glassy pool | J |
| Their feet beat darkly to and fro | I |

| She rides upon her little boat | K |
| Her swans swim through the starry sheen | E |

| 'Tis silence on the enchanted lake | M |
| And silence in the air serene | E |

| Upstairs downstairs all in vain | O |
| Her room is dim her flowers faded | P |
| She answers not again | N |
