| THE PLAINTIVE SONG OF A BIRD RECALLS TO HIM HIS OWN KEENER SORROW | B |

| - | |
| Poor solitary bird that pour'st thy lay | C |
| Or haply mournest the sweet season gone | D |
| As chilly night and winter hurry on | E |
| And day light fades and summer flies away | C |
| If as the cares that swell thy little throat | F |
| Thou knew'st alike the woes that wound my rest | G |
| Ah thou wouldst house thee in this kindred breast | G |
| And mix with mine thy melancholy note | F |
| Yet little know I ours are kindred ills | H |
| She still may live the object of thy song | I |
| Not so for me stern death or Heaven wills | H |
| But the sad season and less grateful hour | J |
| And of past joy and sorrow thoughts that throng | I |
| Prompt my full heart this idle lay to pour | K |

| Sweet bird that singest on thy airy way | C |
| Or else bewailest pleasures that are past | L |
| What time the night draws nigh and wintry blast | L |
| Leaving behind each merry month and day | C |
| Oh couldst thou as thine own my state survey | C |
| With the same gloom of misery o'ercast | C |
| Unto my bosom thou mightst surely haste | C |
| And by partaking my sad griefs allay | C |
| Yet would thy share of woe not equal mine | M |
| Since the loved mate thou weep'st doth haply live | A |
| While death and heaven me of my fair deprive | A |
| But hours less gay the season's drear decline | M |
| With thoughts on many a sad and pleasant year | K |
| Tempt me to ask thy piteous presence here | K |
