Rhyme Scheme: ABACB DEDDE FGFFG HIHHI| The sweets of evening charm the mind | A |
| Sick of the sultry day | B |
| The body then no more confin'd | A |
| But exercise with freedom join'd | C |
| When Phoebus sheathes his ray | B |
| - | |
| While all serene the summer moon | D |
| Sends glances thro' the trees | E |
| And Philomel begins her tune | D |
| And Asteria too shall help her soon | D |
| With voice of skillful ease | E |
| - | |
| A nosegay every thing that grows | F |
| And music every sound | G |
| To lull the sun to his repose | F |
| The skies are colour'd like the rose | F |
| With lively streaks around | G |
| - | |
| Of all the changes rung by time | H |
| None half so sweet appear | I |
| As those when thoughts themselves sublime | H |
| And with superior natures chime | H |
| In fancy's highest sphere | I |
