Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDEBDBDFGHGIDJD KLKLMNMOPQPQGRSR| Again the swift revolving year | A |
| Returns the bright th' auspicious morn | B |
| That shed its kindest influence here | C |
| When Britain's future queen was born | B |
| Still may the Sun on this blest day | D |
| With brighter beams indulgent rise | E |
| Still emulate the glad'ning ray | D |
| And milder glories of her eyes | E |
| Those charms thy spotless youth adorn | B |
| Each rip'ning year shall more display | D |
| So the soft blushes of the morn | B |
| Give promise of a brighter day | D |
| The pomp of pow'r the grateful awe | F |
| And homage which on sovereigns wait | G |
| Your eyes without that aid cou'd draw | H |
| And not demand it but create | G |
| Yet not that all commanding form | I |
| That face where love's soft graces play | D |
| Tho' bright in every female charm | J |
| Shall claim alone the muse's lay | D |
| She meditates a nobler praise | K |
| And wings a far more glorious flight | L |
| Drinks in thy virtue's fuller blaze | K |
| And basks in those fair beams of light | L |
| First in the ever smiling train | M |
| Religion sheds diffusive grace | N |
| In they fair breast confirms her reign | M |
| And gives the sacred sweets of peace | O |
| There every generous passion glows | P |
| That can the human soul refine | Q |
| There soft maternal fondness flows | P |
| And love so pure 'tis half divine | Q |
| Well has it been decreed by fate | G |
| A form so fair so bright a mind | R |
| Should grace the world's chief regal seat | S |
| And bless the noblest of mankind | R |
