Rhyme Scheme: AABCCB DDEFFE GGHAAH| Four limpid lakes four Naiades | A |
| Or sylvan deities are these | A |
| In flowing robes of azure dressed | B |
| Four lovely handmaids that uphold | C |
| Their shining mirrors rimmed with gold | C |
| To the fair city in the West | B |
| - | |
| By day the coursers of the sun | D |
| Drink of these waters as they run | D |
| Their swift diurnal round on high | E |
| By night the constellations glow | F |
| Far down the hollow deeps below | F |
| And glimmer in another sky | E |
| - | |
| Fair lakes serene and full of light | G |
| Fair town arrayed in robes of white | G |
| How visionary ye appear | H |
| All like a floating landscape seems | A |
| In cloud land or the land of dreams | A |
| Bathed in a golden atmosphere | H |
