Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH IDID JKJK LML| Strange fits of passion have I known | A |
| And I will dare to tell | B |
| But in the lover's ear alone | A |
| What once to me befell | B |
| - | |
| When she I loved look'd every day | C |
| Fresh as a rose in June | D |
| I to her cottage bent my way | C |
| Beneath an evening moon | D |
| - | |
| Upon the moon I fix'd my eye | E |
| All over the wide lea | F |
| With quickening pace my horse drew nigh | E |
| Those paths so dear to me | F |
| - | |
| And now we reach'd the orchard plot | G |
| And as we climb'd the hill | H |
| The sinking moon to Lucy's cot | G |
| Came near and nearer still | H |
| - | |
| In one of those sweet dreams I slept | I |
| Kind Nature's gentlest boon | D |
| And all the while my eyes I kept | I |
| On the descending moon | D |
| - | |
| My horse moved on hoof after hoof | J |
| He raised and never stopp'd | K |
| When down behind the cottage roof | J |
| At once the bright moon dropp'd | K |
| - | |
| What fond and wayward thoughts will slide | L |
| Into a lover's head | M |
| 'O mercy ' to myself I cried | L |
| 'If Lucy should be dead ' | - |
