| The gentle gale that plays my face around | C |
| Murmuring sweet mischief through the verdant grove | D |
| To fond remembrance brings the time when Love | E |
| First gave his deep although delightful wound | C |
| Gave me to view that beauteous face ne'er found | C |
| Veil'd as disdain or jealousy might move | F |
| To view her locks that shone bright gold above | E |
| Then loose but now with pearls and jewels bound | C |
| Those locks she sweetly scatter'd to the wind | G |
| And then coil'd up again so gracefully | H |
| That but to think on it still thrills the sense | I |
| These Time has in more sober braids confined | G |
| And bound my heart with such a powerful tie | J |
| That death alone can disengage it thence | I |

| The balmy airs that from yon leafy spray | L |
| My fever'd brow with playful murmurs greet | M |
| Recall to my fond heart the fatal day | L |
| When Love his first wound dealt so deep yet sweet | M |
| And gave me the fair face in scorn away | L |
| Since turn'd or hid by jealousy to meet | M |
| The locks which pearls and gems now oft array | L |
| Whose shining tints with finest gold compete | M |
| So sweetly on the wind were then display'd | N |
| Or gather'd in with such a graceful art | O |
| Their very thought with passion thrills my mind | G |
| Time since has twined them in more sober braid | N |
| And with a snare so powerful bound my heart | O |
| Death from its fetters only can unbind | O |
