Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDD EFEGDD HIHIDD JKJKDD| I loved thee from the earliest dawn | A |
| When first I saw thy beauty's ray | B |

| And when all things go well with thee | D |
| With smiles or tears remember me | D |

| I'll love thee when thy morn is past | E |
| And wheedling galantry is o'er | F |

| And beauty can ascend no more | G |
| And when life's journey ends with thee | D |
| O then look back and think of me | D |
| - | |
| I'll love thee with a smile or frown | H |
| Mid sorrow's gloom or pleasure's light | I |
| And when the chain of life runs down | H |
| Pursue thy last eternal flight | I |
| When thou hast spread thy wing to flee | D |
| Still still a moment wait for me | D |
| - | |
| I love thee for those sparkling eyes | J |
| To which my fondness was betray'd | K |
| Bearing the tincture of the skies | J |
| To glow when other beauties fade | K |
| And when they sink too low to see | D |
| Reflect an azure beam on me | D |
