| - | |
| Up this bleak Hill in wintry Night's dread hour | B |
| With mind congenial to the scene I come | C |
| To see my Valley in the lunar gloom | D |
| To see it whelm'd Amid the cloudy lour | E |
| Gleams the cold Moon and shows the ruthless power | B |
| Of yon swoln Floods that white with turbid foam | F |
| Roll o'er the fields and billowy as they roam | F |
| Against the bushes beat A Vale no more | G |
| A troubled Sea toss'd by the furious Wind | H |
| Alas the wild and angry Waves efface | I |
| Pathway and hedge and bank and stile I find | H |
| But one wide waste of waters In controul | J |
| Thus dire to tides of Misery and Disgrace | I |
| Love opes the flood gates of my struggling Soul | J |
