Rhyme Scheme: AABAACCDCD EEFGGFCDCD EEDAADACAC| Fair bride attended by our blessing | A |
| Glad Hymen's flowery path 'gin pressing | A |
| We witnessed with enraptured eye | B |
| The graces of thy soul unfolding | A |
| Thy youthful charms their beauty moulding | A |
| To blossom for love's ecstasy | C |
| A happy fate now hovers round thee | C |
| And friendship yields without a smart | D |
| To that sweet god whose might hath bound thee | C |
| He needs must have he hath thy heart | D |
| - | |
| To duties dear to trouble tender | E |
| Thy youthful breast must now surrender | E |
| Thy garland's summons must obey | F |
| Each toying infantine sensation | G |
| Each fleeting sport of youth's creation | G |
| Forevermore hath passed away | F |
| And Hymen's sacred bond now chaineth | C |
| Where soft and fluttering love was shrined | D |
| Yet for a heart where beauty reigneth | C |
| Of flowers alone that bond is twined | D |
| - | |
| The secret that can keep forever | E |
| In verdant links that naught can sever | E |
| The bridal garland wouldst thou find | D |
| 'Tis purity the heart pervading | A |
| The blossoms of a grace unfading | A |
| And yet with modest shame combined | D |
| Which like the sun's reflection glowing | A |
| Makes every heart throb blissfully | C |
| 'Tis looks with mildness overflowing | A |
| And self maintaining dignity | C |
