Rhyme Scheme: AABCDDEE FF GGHIJJ| Hail to thy pencil well its glowing art | A |
| Has traced those features painted on my heart | A |
| Now though in distant scenes she soon will rove | B |
| Still here I behold the friend I love | C |
| Still see that smile endearing artless kind | D |
| The eye's mild beam that speaks the candid mind | D |
| Which sportive oft yet fearful to offend | E |
| By humour charms but never wounds a friend | E |
| - | |
| But in my breast contending feelings rise | F |
| While this loved semblance fascinates my eyes | F |
| - | |
| Now pleased I mark the painter's skilful line | G |
| And now rejoice the skill I mark is thine | G |
| And while I prize the gift by thee bestow'd | H |
| My heart proclaims I'm of the giver proud | I |
| Thus pride and friendship war with equal strife | J |
| And now the friend exults and now the wife | J |
