Rhyme Scheme: ABCDACCD EFEFGG| Her breast is cold her hands how faint and wan | A |
| And the deep wonder of her starry eyes | B |
| Seemingly lost in cloudless Paradise | C |
| And all earth's sorrow out of memory gone | D |
| Yet sings her clear voice unrelenting on | A |
| Of loveliest impossibilities | C |
| Though echo only answer her with sighs | C |

| Spent baffled 'wildered hated and despised | E |
| Her straggling warriors hasten to defeat | F |
| By wounds distracted and by night surprised | E |

| Yet yet O breast how cold O hope how far | G |
| Grant my son's ashes lie where these men's are | G |
