Rhyme Scheme: AABCDDEEFFGGHI JJKKLLMN| MAID of the placid smile and heav'nly mien | A |
| With beaming eye tho' tearful yet serene | A |
| Teach me like thee in sorrow's ling'ring hour | B |
| To bless devotion's all consoling pow'r | C |
| Teach me like thee when storms around me rise | D |
| And spreading glooms obscure the azure skies | D |
| On one unclouded light to fix my view | E |
| For ever brilliant and for ever true | E |
| The star of faith whose mild celestial ray | F |
| With steady lustre shall direct my way | F |
| Thy seraph hand shall raise my drooping head | G |
| Angel of peace thy wings around me spread | G |
| With hallow'd spells my fainting spirit cheer | H |
| Hush the sad murmur dry the starting tear | I |
| - | |
| Thus when the halcyon broods upon the tides | J |
| The winds are lull'd the mountain wave subsides | J |
| Soft rainbow hues reflected tinge the deep | K |
| And balmy zephyrs on its bosom sleep | K |
| Maid of the placid smile my troubled soul | L |
| Would own thy gentle reign thy mild control | L |
| Though the pale cypress twine thy sainted brow | M |
| Eternal palms for thee in heav'n shall blow | N |
