| Such is the quiet bliss of soul | K |
| When in some calm retreat | G |
| Where pensive thoughts like streamlets roll | K |
| And render silence sweet | G |
| - | |
| And when the vain tumultuous crowd | G |
| Shakes comfort from my mind | G |
| My muse ascends above the cloud | G |
| And leaves the noise behind | G |
| - | |
| With vivid flight she mounts on high | I |
| Above the dusky maze | L |
| And with a perspicacious eye | I |
| Doth far 'bove nature gaze | L |
