Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDD EFEEGGHH IIJJKLMN OOPCQQOO| COME gentle muse now all is calm | A |
| The dew descends the air is balm | A |
| Unruffled is the glassy deep | B |
| While moon beams o'er its bosom sleep | B |
| The gale of summer mildly blows | C |
| The wave in soothing murmur flows | C |
| Unclouded Vesper shines on high | D |
| And ev'ry flow'r has clos'd its tearful eye | D |
| - | |
| Oh at this hour this placid hour | E |
| Soft music wake thy magic pow'r | F |
| Be mine to hear thy dulcet measure | E |
| Thy warbling strains that whisper pleasure | E |
| Thy heavenly airs of cadence dying | G |
| And harp to every zephyr sighing | G |
| When roving by the shadowy beam | H |
| That gilds the fairy bow'r and woodland stream | H |
| - | |
| But all is still no mellow sound | I |
| Floats on the breeze of night around | I |
| Yet fancy with some airy spell | J |
| Can wake 'sweet Echo' from her cell | J |
| Can charm her pensive votary's ear | K |
| With plaintive numbers melting near | L |
| And bid celestial spirits rise | M |
| To pour their wild enchanted melodies | N |
| - | |
| I love the rosy dawn of day | O |
| When Zephyr wakes the laughing May | O |
| I love the summer evening's close | P |
| That lulls the mind in calm repose | C |
| But sweeter far the hour serene | Q |
| When softer colours paint the scene | Q |
| When Vesper sheds a dewy ray | O |
| And o'er the sleeping wave the moon beams play | O |
