Rhyme Scheme: ABAAB CACCA DEDDE FGFFHThou mayst retire but think of me | A |
When thou art gone afar | B |
Where'er in life thy travels be | A |
If tost along the brackish sea | A |
Or borne upon the car | B |

Thou mayst retire I care not where | C |
Thy name my theme shall be | A |
With thee in heart I shall be there | C |
Content thy good or ill to share | C |
If dead to lodge with thee | A |

And leave thy sister train | E |
To roam the wilds where dangers sleep | D |
And leave affection sad to weep | D |
In bitterness and pain | E |

Farewell thy sunk deluded lad | F |
May rise when thou art gone | H |
