Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFGF HIJI KLKL MNMO| Spring thy impatient bloom restrain | A |
| Nor wake so soon thy genial power | B |
| For deeds of death must hail thy reign | A |
| And clouds of fate around thee lower | B |
| - | |
| In vain thy balmy breath to me | C |
| Scents with its sweets the evening gale | D |
| In vain the violet's charms I see | C |
| Or fondly mark thy primrose pale | D |
| - | |
| To me thy softest zephyrs breathe | E |
| Of sorrow's soul disparting tone | F |
| To me thy most attractive wreath | G |
| Seems tinged with human blood alone | F |
| - | |
| Arrest thy steps thou source of love | H |
| Thou genial friend of joy and life | I |
| Let not thy smile propitious prove | J |
| To works of carnage scenes of strife | I |
| - | |
| Bid winter all his frowns recall | K |
| And back his icy footsteps trace | L |
| Again the soil in frost enthral | K |
| And check the war fiend's murderous chase | L |
| - | |
| Fond fruitless prayer Thy hand divine | M |
| The smiling season on must lead | N |
| And still at war's ensanguined shrine | M |
| Must bid unnumbered victims bleed | O |
