| On earth reveal'd the beauties of the skies | C |
| Angelic features it was mine to hail | D |
| Features which wake my mingled joy and wail | D |
| While all besides like dreams or shadows flies | C |
| And fill'd with tears I saw those two bright eyes | C |
| Which oft have turn'd the sun with envy pale | D |
| And from those lips I heard oh such a tale | D |
| As might awake brute Nature's sympathies | E |
| Wit pity excellence and grief and love | F |
| With blended plaint so sweet a concert made | G |
| As ne'er was given to mortal ear to prove | H |
| And heaven itself such mute attention paid | G |
| That not a breath disturb'd the listening grove | I |
| Even ther's wildest gales the tuneful charm obey'd | G |

| Yes I beheld on earth angelic grace | J |
| And charms divine which mortals rarely see | K |
| Such as both glad and pain the memory | K |
| Vain light unreal is all else I trace | J |
| Tears I saw shower'd from those fine eyes apace | J |
| Of which the sun ofttimes might envious be | K |
| Accents I heard sigh'd forth so movingly | K |
| As to stay floods or mountains to displace | J |
| Love and good sense firmness with pity join'd | L |
| And wailful grief a sweeter concert made | G |
| Than ever yet was pour'd on human ear | M |
| And heaven unto the music so inclined | N |
| That not a leaf was seen to stir the shade | G |
| Such melody had fraught the winds the atmosphere | O |
