Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDEED FFGGHIJH KKLLMNNO PPQQRSSR HHTTUVVU DDWWXYYZ| OH thou the musing wakeful pow'r | A |
| That lov'st the silent midnight hour | B |
| Thy lonely vigils then to keep | C |
| And banish far the angel sleep | C |
| With all his lovely train | D |
| Come pensive thought with thee I'll rove | E |
| Through forest wild sequestered grove | E |
| Or twilight plain | D |
| - | |
| The lone recluse in hermit cell | F |
| With thee oh nymph delights to dwell | F |
| Forsakes the world and all its charms | G |
| Forsakes the syren pleasure's arms | G |
| In peaceful shades to rest | H |
| And oft with thee entranc'd may hear | I |
| Celestial voices warbling near | J |
| Of spirits blest | H |
| - | |
| When slow declines the rosy day | K |
| And ev'ning smiles with parting ray | K |
| When twilight spreads her magic hues | L |
| When moon beams tremble on the dews | L |
| Be mine to rove retir'd | M |
| By fairy bower or dimpled stream | N |
| To muse with thee some heavenly theme | N |
| Oh maid inspir'd | O |
| - | |
| 'Tis thine on eagle wings to soar | P |
| Unknown unfathom'd realms explore | P |
| Below the deeps above the sky | Q |
| Beyond the starry orbs on high | Q |
| Can aught restrain thy flight | R |
| To pierce the veil of future time | S |
| And rise in Fancy's car sublime | S |
| To realms of light | R |
| - | |
| At midnight to the guilty breast | H |
| Thou com'st a fear'd appalling guest | H |
| While lightnings flash and thunders roll | T |
| Accusing conscience wakes the soul | T |
| And bids each fear increase | U |
| And while benignant slumber flies | V |
| With awful voice in whisper cries | V |
| Farewell to peace | U |
| - | |
| But oh dread pow'r how sweet thy reign | D |
| To Virtue's mild and hallow'd train | D |
| The storm around may wildly rave | W |
| And winter swell the mountain wave | W |
| Yet soft their calm repose | X |
| Their minds unruffled and serene | Y |
| And guardian seraphs watch unseen | Y |
| Their eyes to close | Z |
