Rhyme Scheme: AABCDDEEFFGGHHIIJKLL MMNNOOPPAA| She was a Phantom of delight | A |
| When first she gleamed upon my sight | A |
| A lovely Apparition sent | B |
| To be a moment's ornament | C |
| Her eyes as stars of Twilight fair | D |
| Like Twilight's too her dusky hair | D |
| But all things else about her drawn | E |
| From May time and the cheerful Dawn | E |
| A dancing Shape an Image gay | F |
| To haunt to startle and way lay | F |
| I saw her upon nearer view | G |
| A Spirit yet a Woman too | G |
| Her household motions light and free | H |
| And steps of virgin liberty | H |
| A countenance in which did meet | I |
| Sweet records promises as sweet | I |
| A Creature not too bright or good | J |
| For human nature's daily food | K |
| For transient sorrows simple wiles | L |
| Praise blame love kisses tears and smiles | L |
| And now I see with eye serene | M |
| The very pulse of the machine | M |
| A Being breathing thoughtful breath | N |
| A Traveller between life and death | N |
| The reason firm the temperate will | O |
| Endurance foresight strength and skill | O |
| A perfect Woman nobly planned | P |
| To warn to comfort and command | P |
| And yet a Spirit still and bright | A |
| With something of angelic light | A |
