Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEG HIHI JKJK LMLD| Trust not Hope's illusive ray | A |
| Trust not Joy's deceitful smiles | B |
| Oft they reckless youth betray | A |
| With their bland seductive wiles | B |
| - | |
| I have proved them all alas | C |
| Transient as the hues of eve | D |
| Meteor like they quickly pass | C |
| Through the bosoms they deceive | D |
| - | |
| Let not Love thy prospects gild | E |
| Soon they will be clouded o'er | F |
| And the budding heart once chilled | E |
| It can brightly bloom no more | G |
| - | |
| Slumber not in Pleasure's beam | H |
| It may sparkle for a while | I |
| But 'tis transient as a dream | H |
| Faithless as a foeman's smile | I |
| - | |
| There's a light that's brighter far | J |
| Soothes the soul by anguish riven | K |
| 'Tis Religion's guiding star | J |
| Glittering on the verge of Heaven | K |
| - | |
| Oh this beam divine is worth | L |
| All the charm that life can give | M |
| 'Tis not false as things of earth | L |
| Trust it then 'twill ne'er deceive | D |
