Rhyme Scheme: AABCCBDDBEEBFGFH IIJKKCJLMLMJJNNOBBO| Past the despairing wail | A |
| And the bright banquets of the Elysian vale | A |
| Melt every care away | B |
| Delight that breathes and moves forever | C |
| Glides through sweet fields like some sweet river | C |
| Elysian life survey | B |
| There fresh with youth o'er jocund meads | D |
| His merry west winds blithely leads | D |
| The ever blooming May | B |
| Through gold woven dreams goes the dance of the hours | E |
| In space without bounds swell the soul and its powers | E |
| And truth with no veil gives her face to the day | B |
| And joy to day and joy to morrow | F |
| But wafts the airy soul aloft | G |
| The very name is lost to sorrow | F |
| And pain is rapture tuned more exquisitely soft | H |
| - | |
| Here the pilgrim reposes the world weary limb | I |
| And forgets in the shadow cool breathing and dim | I |
| The load he shall bear never more | J |
| Here the mower his sickle at rest by the streams | K |
| Lulled with harp strings reviews in the calm of his dreams | K |
| The fields when the harvest is o'er | C |
| Here he whose ears drank in the battle roar | J |
| Whose banners streamed upon the startled wind | L |
| A thunder storm before whose thunder tread | M |
| The mountains trembled in soft sleep reclined | L |
| By the sweet brook that o'er its pebbly bed | M |
| In silver plays and murmurs to the shore | J |
| Hears the stern clangor of wild spears no more | J |
| Here the true spouse the lost beloved regains | N |
| And on the enamelled couch of summer plains | N |
| Mingles sweet kisses with the zephyr's breath | O |
| Here crowned at last love never knows decay | B |
| Living through ages its one bridal day | B |
| Safe from the stroke of death | O |
