Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFGGHHAAII JJKKLLMMNN| There is a land of every land the pride | A |
| Beloved by heaven o'er all the world beside | A |
| Where brighter suns dispense serener light | B |
| And milder moons emparadise the night | B |
| A land of beauty virtue valour truth | C |
| Time tutor'd age and love exalted youth | C |
| The wand'ring mariner whose eye explores | D |
| The wealthiest isles the most enchanting shores | D |
| Views not a realm so bountiful and fair | E |
| Nor breathes the spirit of a purer air | E |
| In ev'ry clime the magnet of his soul | F |
| Touch'd by remembrance trembles to that pole | F |
| For in this land of heaven's peculiar grace | G |
| The heritage of nature's noblest race | G |
| There is a spot of earth supremely blest | H |
| A dearer sweeter spot than all the rest | H |
| Where man creation's tyrant casts aside | A |
| His sword and sceptre pageantry and pride | A |
| While in his soften'd looks benignly blend | I |
| The sire the son the husband brother friend | I |
| Here woman reigns the mother daughter wife | J |
| Strews with fresh flowers the narrow path of life | J |
| In the clear heaven of her delightful eye | K |
| An angel guard of loves and graces lie | K |
| Around her knees domestic duties meet | L |
| And fire side pleasures gambol at her feet | L |
| Where shall that land that spot of earth be found | M |
| Art thou a man a patriot look around | M |
| Oh thou shalt find howe'er thy footsteps roam | N |
| That land thy country and that spot thy home | N |
