Rhyme Scheme: ABBACBDDEFGFHH| My Angel Sister tho' thy lovely form | A |
| Perish'd in Youth's gay morning yet is mine | B |
| This precious Ringlet still the soft hairs shine | B |
| Still glow the nut brown tints all bright and warm | A |
| With sunny gleam Alas each kindred charm | C |
| Vanish'd long since deep in the silent shrine | B |
| Wither'd to shapeless Dust and of their grace | D |
| Memory alone retains the faithful trace | D |
| Dear Lock had thy sweet Owner liv'd ere now | E |
| Time on her brow had faded thee My care | F |
| Screen'd from the sun and dew thy golden glow | G |
| And thus her early beauty dost thou wear | F |
| Thou all of that fair Frame my love cou'd save | H |
| From the resistless ravage of the GRAVE | H |
