verse 2:
Far from all pleasure torn, sad and alone,
how doth my spirit mourn while thou art gone?
How like a desert isle earth seems to me,
robbed of thy sunny smile, sweet Laura Lee!
How like a desert isle earth seems to me,
robbed of thy sunny smile, sweet Laura Lee!

verse 3:
When will thy winning voice breathe on mine ear?
When will my heart rejoice, finding thee near?
When will we roam the plain, joyous and free,
never to part again, sweet Laura Lee?
When will we roam the plain, joyous and free,
never to part again, sweet Laura Lee?
