| I saw her once and then no more | |
| 't was Edens Light on earth a while | |
| She passed along the meadow floor | |
| Spring seemed to smile | |
| and then no more | |
| Ah! What avail my magic lore? | |
| She shone before mine eyes awhile | |
| My peace is wrecked on Beauty's shore. | |
| I saw her once and then no more | |
| Oh might I see, her once again | |
| Death would soon heal this heart | |
| Now sad and sore, would beat anew | |
| A while and then no more |
