Rhyme Scheme: A BCBCDEDEFGFGHH| Supposed to have been written in America | A |
| - | |
| ILL omen'd bird whose cries portentous float | B |
| O'er yon savannah with the mournful wind | C |
| While as the Indian hears your piercing note | B |
| Dark dread of future evil fills his mind | C |
| Wherefore with early lamentation break | D |
| The dear delusive visions of repose | E |
| Why from so short felicity awake | D |
| My wounded senses to substantial woes | E |
| O'er my sick soul thus rous'd from transient rest | F |
| Pale Superstition sheds her influence drear | G |
| And to my shuddering fancy would suggest | F |
| Thou com'st to speak of ev'ry woe I fear | G |
| Ah Reason little o'er the soul prevails | H |
| When from ideal ill the enfeebled spirit fails | H |
