Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDE FGFGDEDE HIJIDEDE| WHEN poor in all but hope and love | A |
| I clasped thee to my faithful heart | B |

| A conquered world before me stoops | D |
| And Fame is mine but where art thou | E |
| - | |
| In life's first hours despised and lone | H |
| I wandered through the busy crowd | I |
| But now that life's best hopes are gone | J |
| They greet with pride and murmurs loud | I |
| Oh for thy voice thy happy voice | D |
| To breathe its laughing welcome now | E |
| Wealth fame and all that should rejoice | D |
| To me are vain for where art thou | E |
