Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEDE FGHG IDID GJGJ ECCC| Cease Laura cease suspect no more | A |
| This careless heart has learnt to love | B |
| Because on yonder lonely shore | A |
| I still at pensive evening rove | C |
| - | |
| Because of Henry's worth I speak | D |
| With eager warmth and sparkling eye | E |
| Because his favourite haunts I seek | D |
| And still o'erjoyed to meet him fly | E |
| - | |
| But Laura should my faltering tongue | F |
| Refuse to speak in Henry's praise | G |
| My trembling voice deny the song | H |
| When Henry claims his favourite lays | G |
| - | |
| When Henry comes should I neglect | I |
| With smiles the welcome youth to seek | D |
| But meet him full of cold respect | I |
| While conscious blushes paint my cheek | D |
| - | |
| Should I when Ella shares his praise | G |
| Heave deeply drawn but smothered sighs | J |
| And when on me he deigns to gaze | G |
| Fix on the earth my conscious eyes | J |
| - | |
| Then I'll no more thy charge deny | E |
| No more thy tender fears reprove | C |
| Then Laura heave compassion's sigh | C |
| For mine will be the sigh of love | C |
