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 my 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 ans sore, would beat anew
A while and then no more
