Thine cherish'd BIBI thine | B |
Oft to this spot our steps we'll bend | A |

Through length'ning years' successive flight | C |
Thy fondness still had power | D |
To shed its narrow line of light | C |
On life's domestic hour | D |

And while for pleasures sought amiss | E |
Abroad we vainly roam | F |
How far more dear the slightest bliss | E |
That adds one charm to home | F |

Let those who coldly scorn the tear | G |
That soothes the grief we prove | H |

If love has claims to love | J |

A heart unknown to range | L |
That to one chosen object gives | K |
A love no power can change | L |

Affection half so true | N |
Ah BIBI who of human kind | M |
Has learnt to love like you | N |
