| But when the dawn of youth is fled | L |
| The spring of life so fair | C |
| Ah wilt thou then benignly shed | L |
| Thy placid beams around my head | L |
| And steal my thoughts from care | C |

| Yes gentle pow'r thy heav'nly ray | G |
| Shall cheer my morning bright | M |
| And e'en in life's declining day | G |
| Shall gild the dark and thorny way | G |
| With mild celestial light | M |
