Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGI| Troop home to silents grots and caves | A |
| Troop home And mimic as you go | B |
| The mournful winding of the waves | A |
| Which to their dark abysses flow | B |
| - | |
| At this sweet hour all things beside | C |
| In amourous pairs to covert creep | D |
| The swans that brush the evening tide | C |
| Homeward and snowy couples keep | D |

| In his green den the murmuring seal | E |
| Close by his sleek companion lies | F |
| While singly we to bedward steal | E |
| And close in fruitless sleep our eyes | F |
| - | |
| In bowers of love men take their rest | G |
| In loveless bowers we sigh alone | H |
| With busom friends are others blessed | G |
| But we have none But we have none | I |
