| With current fleet thy course is led | D |
| To where walled in by beetling cliffs | E |
| It plunges o'er the hidden rifts | F |

| Past where the meadows gently sweep | G |
| The limpid waters silent creep | G |
| Until o'erhung with cooling shade | H |
| They lave the shores of sylvan glade | H |
| And many a wild flower blooming there | I |
| Its incense flings upon the air | I |
| And spreading o'er each sloping side | J |
| An emerald carpet stretches wide | J |

| Now gliding out the waters gleam | B |
| And sparkle with the sun's warm beam | B |
| Reflecting then some mirrored cloud | K |
| Like specter wrapt in filmy shroud | K |
| Till pouring down with fretful whirl | L |
| They o'er the mill dam rush and curl | L |
| And foaming round in eddies deep | G |
| The circles wide and wider creep | G |

| Oh by thy wave I've loved to stray | N |
| On many a balmy summer's day | N |
| When youth and hope and life were sweet | C |
| Thy wooded banks and cliffs to greet | C |
| And often back to days of yore | O |
| My fancy strays along thy shore | O |
| And musing thus I fondly dream | B |
| I see again thy waters gleam | B |
