| I saw the figure of a lovely Maid | B |
| Seated alone beneath a darksome tree | C |
| Whose fondly overhanging canopy | C |
| Set off her brightness with a pleasing shade | B |
| No Spirit was she 'that' my heart betrayed | B |
| For she was one I loved exceedingly | C |
| But while I gazed in tender reverie | C |
| Or was it sleep that with my Fancy played | B |
| The bright corporeal presence form and face | D |
| Remaining still distinct grew thin and rare | E |
| Like sunny mist at length the golden hair | E |
| Shape limbs and heavenly features keeping pace | D |
| Each with the other in a lingering race | D |
| Of dissolution melted into air | E |
