Rhyme Scheme: ABBBCDCD EFFEBGBG HIJHKLKL BBBBMNMN BBBBOBPB| O gentle shade of quiet woods | A |
| Where nature dwells in leafy halls | B |
| I love the sacred voice that falls | B |
| In music o'er thy solitudes | B |
| Within thine arms the weary heart | C |
| Is hidden from the toils of men | D |
| And pleasure makes ambition start | C |
| Into a nobler life again | D |
| - | |
| Among the fragrant shadows throng | E |
| With all the riches of their truth | F |
| Glad echoes from the days of youth | F |
| And mingle into laughing song | E |
| While angel fingers touch the keys | B |
| That slumber in the silent breast | G |
| Till mem'ry wakes her lullabies | B |
| And childhood fancies rock to rest | G |
| - | |
| Again the hours of early joy | H |
| Upon the aged years intrude | I |
| And dance amid the summer wood | J |
| The golden dreamings of the boy | H |
| Again the songs of wonder thrill | K |
| The days of life with gladness wild | L |
| And lofty visions fondly fill | K |
| The longing fancies of the child | L |
| - | |
| Enchanted choirs of baby years | B |
| Sweet dirges from the cradle's keys | B |
| The glories of your harmonies | B |
| Impel my secret soul to tears | B |
| The roses of my fancies fade | M |
| Into the dust of wicked strife | N |
| And all the promise boyhood made | M |
| Has proved the desert of my life | N |
| - | |
| O fragrant woods of happy times | B |
| Fair children of the glowing days | B |
| How sweet the music of your lays | B |
| Is mingled into fairy chimes | B |
| Ye lisp again the songs of yore | O |
| The stories of my infant years | B |
| And throw a sweeter cadence o'er | P |
| My hoary sorrows and my tears | B |
