When Man expell'd from Eden's bowers | B |
A moment linger'd near the gate | C |
Each scene recall'd the vanish'd hours | B |
And bade him curse his future fate | C |

But wandering on through distant climes | D |
He learnt to bear his load of grief | E |
Just gave a sigh to other times | D |
And found in busier scenes relief | E |

Thus Lady will it be with me | F |
And I must view thy charms no more | G |
For while I linger near to thee | F |
I sigh for all I knew before | G |

In flight I shall be surely wise | H |
Escaping from temptation's snare | I |
I cannot view my Paradise | J |
Without the wish of dwelling there | I |
