Rhyme Scheme: ABAB BCBC BDBD EBEB FAGA AHAI AJAJ AKAK AAAA BLBL| FAREWELL ah happy shades ah scenes belov'd | A |
| Of infant sports and bright unclouded hours | B |
| Where oft in childhood's happy days I rov'd | A |
| Thro' forest walks and wild secluded bow'rs | B |
| - | |
| Far from your woods and sweet romantic glades | B |
| A wand'ring emigrant I'm doom'd to roam | C |
| Yet oft will memory ling'ring in your shades | B |
| Recal the dear regretted charms of home | C |
| - | |
| Her magic pencil oft shall fondly trace | B |
| The mournful pictures of departed joy | D |
| To ev'ry image give a pensive grace | B |
| Which time may soften but can ne'er destroy | D |
| - | |
| Ah scenes belov'd again delightful spring | E |
| In vernal beauty decks your smiling vales | B |
| With balmy odour scents the zephyr's wing | E |
| And wafts from heav'n the soft Favonian gales | B |
| - | |
| With transport once to hail her blest return | F |
| I tun'd my artless reed my numbers wild | A |
| Then all was new in life's bewitching morn | G |
| And hope ah fair enchantress gaily smil'd | A |
| - | |
| Oh then what airy visions of delight | A |
| Beguil'd my youthful heart in ev'ry grove | H |
| Deluding fancy pictur'd to my sight | A |
| The fairy land of happiness and love | I |
| - | |
| But now for me in vain the flow'rs expand | A |
| And leaves unfolding dress the woods anew | J |
| I go a wanderer to some distant land | A |
| And bid my native hills a last adieu | J |
| - | |
| Farewell the hermit cell the lov'd retreat | A |
| The cottage mantled o'er with clustering vine | K |
| Where mild content had found a tranquil seat | A |
| And peace and calm domestic joys were mine | K |
| - | |
| Dear lovely scenes how oft at dawn of day | A |
| My pipe has wak'd your mountain echoes sound | A |
| How oft at evening's hour I lov'd to stray | A |
| Beside the river's bank with osiers crown'd | A |
| - | |
| Ye woodland streams ye peaceful happy shades | B |
| Oft on your charms will pensive memory dwell | L |
| Ah native vales ah sweet embow'ring glades | B |
| Scenes of my early youth a last farewell | L |
