Rhyme Scheme: AABBCC DDEEFFGG| WHEN sever'd from this hostile shore | A |
| A weary captive now no more | A |
| Home cherish'd home shall glad your sight | B |
| In blessedness of fresh delight | B |
| While love shall weave new spells around | C |
| That spot of consecrated ground | C |
| - | |
| Where sweet domestic joy imparts | D |
| The charm that binds congenial hearts | D |
| And filial tenderness prepares | E |
| A balm for all terrestrial cares | E |
| Forget not ah forget not those | F |
| Who sought to soothe the captive's woes | F |
| Exult be happy and be free | G |
| But give one pensive thought to me | G |
