	1.	Mingled with this horror, I felt the bitterness of disappointment; dreams that had been my food and pleasant rest for so long a space were now become a hell to me; and the change was so rapid, the overthrow so complete! (debt) 04:52
	2.	But it was augmented and rendered sublime by the almighty Alps, whose white and shining pyramids and domes towered above all, as belonging to another earth, the habitations of another race of beings. (overpass) 04:07
	3.	The noble war in the sky elevated my spirits; I clasped my hands, and exclaimed aloud, "William, dear angel! This is thy funeral, this thy dirge!" (rain) 03:37
	4.	Tell me, dearest Victor. Answer me, I conjure you by our mutual happiness, with simple truth- do you not love another? (birds) 04:28
	5.	Sometimes I tried to imitate the pleasant songs of the birds but was unable. Sometimes I wished to express my sensations in my own mode, but the uncouth and inarticulate sounds which broke from me frightened me into silence again. (girl) 02:25
	6.	Cursed, cursed creator! Why did I live? (epilogue) 04:49
