| I woke | L |
| In my mid bliss | M |
| At midnight's stroke | L |
| And knew you lost and gone | J |
| Forlorn | J |
| I called you back to my unfinished kiss | M |
| But only this | M |
| One word of scorn | J |
| You answered me 'Twas better loved to seem | D |
| Than loved to be since all love is forsworn | J |
| Always a dream '' | - |
