Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDCEFF G| Bard of brief days but ah of deathless fame | A |
| While on these awful leaves my fond eyes rest | B |
| On which thine late have dwelt thy hand late press'd | B |
| I pause and gaze regretful on thy name | A |
| By neither chance nor envy time nor flame | A |
| Be it from this its mansion dispossessed | B |
| But thee Eternity clasps to her breast | B |
| And in celestial splendour thrones thy claim | A |
| - | |
| No more with mortal pencil shalt thou trace | C |
| An imitative radiance thy pure lyre | D |
| Springs from our changeful atmosphere's embrace | C |
| And beams and breathes in empyreal fire | E |
| The Homeric and Miltonian sacred tone | F |
| Responsive hail that lyre congenial to their own | F |
