Rhyme Scheme: ABACDD EFEFGG HIHJKK| O death thy power I own | A |
| Whose mission was to rush | B |
| And snatch the rose so quickly blown | A |
| Down from its native bush | C |
| The flower of beauty doom'd to pine | D |
| Ascends from this to worlds divine | D |
| - | |
| Death is a joyful doom | E |
| Let tears of sorrow dry | F |
| The rose on earth but fades to bloom | E |
| And blossom in the sky | F |
| Why should the soul resist the hand | G |
| That bears her to celestial land | G |

| Then bonny bird farewell | H |
| Till hence we meet again | I |
| Perhaps I have not long to dwell | H |
| Within this cumb'rous chain | J |
| Till on elysian shores eve meet | K |
| Till grief is lost and joy complete | K |
