| - | |
| Hasty pilgrim stop thy pace | B |
| Turn a moment to this place | B |
| Read what pity hath erected | C |
| To a songster she respected | D |
| Little minstrel all is o'er | E |
| Never will thy chirpings more | F |
| Soothe the heavy heart of care | G |
| Or dispel the darkness there | G |
| I have known thee e'er the sun | H |
| Hath on yonder mountain shone | I |
| E'er the sky lark hath ascended | C |
| Or the thrush her throat distended | D |
| Cheerful trill thy little ditty | J |
| As the singer blithe and pretty | J |
| Labour stood half bent to hear | K |
| Study lent a list'ning ear | K |
| Dissipation stop'd a while | L |
| Grief was even seen to smile | L |
| Ambition but the gushing tear | G |
| O'erwhelms the stone and stops me here | K |
