Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCC A EA| Hope comes to Youth gliding thro' azure skies | A |
| With amaranth crown her full robe snowy white | B |
| Floats on the gale and our exulting sight | B |
| Marks it afar From waning Life she flies | A |
| Wrapt in a mist covering her starry eyes | A |
| With her fair hand But now in floods of light | B |
| She meets thee SYLVIA and with glances bright | B |
| As lucid streams when Spring's clear mornings rise | A |
| From Hymen's kindling torch a yellow ray | C |
| The shining texture of her spotless vest | D |
| Gilds and the Month that gives the early day | C |
| The scent od o rous and the carol blest | D |
| Pride of the rising Year enamour'd MAY | C |
| Paints its redundant folds with florets gay | C |
| - | |
| Od o rous Milton in the Par Lost gives the lengthened and harmonious accent to that word rather than the short and common one o dorous | A |
| - | |
| the bright consummate flower | E |
| Spirit od o rous breathes | A |
