Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCDEEDFFDGHIHJJK LLKMMK| Sweet friend the world like some fair infant blessed | A |
| Radiant with sportive grace around thee plays | B |
| Yet 'tis not as depicted in thy breast | A |
| Not as within thy soul's fair glass its rays | B |
| Are mirrored The respectful fealty | C |
| That my heart's nobleness hath won for thee | C |
| The miracles thou workest everywhere | D |
| The charms thy being to this life first lent | E |
| To it mere charms to reckon thou'rt content | E |
| To us they seem humanity so fair | D |
| The witchery sweet of ne'er polluted youth | F |
| The talisman of innocence and truth | F |
| Him I would see who these to scorn can dare | D |
| Thou revellest joyously in telling o'er | G |
| The blooming flowers that round thy path are strown | H |
| The glad whom thou hast made so evermore | I |
| The souls that thou hast conquered for thine own | H |
| In thy deceit so blissful be thou glad | J |
| Ne'er let a waking disenchantment sad | J |
| Hurl thee despairing from thy dream's proud flight | K |
| Like the fair flowerets that thy beds perfume | L |
| Observe them but ne'er touch them as they bloom | L |
| Plant them but only for the distant sight | K |
| Created only to enchant the eye | M |
| In faded beauty at thy feet they'll lie | M |
| The nearer thee the nearer their long night | K |
