Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEDE FGFH IJKJ LMNM OAOA PQAQ RSRS| Bristol in vain thy rocks attempt the sky | A |
| The wild woods waving on their giddy brow | B |
| And vainly devious Avon vainly sigh | A |
| Thy waters winding thro' the vales below | C |
| - | |
| In vain upon thy glassy bosom borne | D |
| Th' expected vessel proudly glides along | E |
| While 'mid thy echoes at the break of morn | D |
| Is heard the homeward ship boy's happy song | E |
| - | |
| For ah amid thy sweet romantic shade | F |
| By Friendship led fair drooping Beauty moves | G |
| Thy hallow'd cup of health affords no aid | F |
| Nor charm thy birds that chant their woodland loves | H |
| - | |
| Each morn I view her thro' thy wave girt grove | I |
| Her white robe flutt'ring round her sinking form | J |
| O'er the sweet ruin shine those eyes of love | K |
| As bright stars beaming thro' a midnight storm | J |
| - | |
| Here sorrowing Love seeks a sequester'd bow'r | L |
| Calls on thy spring to calm his troubled breast | M |
| Bright Hope alights not on his pensive hour | N |
| Nor can thy favour'd fountains yield him rest | M |
| - | |
| Despair across his joys now intervenes | O |
| And sternly bids the little cherub fly | A |
| While his eyes close amid thy beauteous scenes | O |
| His last sighs bless the form that bids him die | A |
| - | |
| Farewell then Bristol thou canst yield no joy | P |
| Thy woods look darken'd with funereal gloom | Q |
| Sickness and Sorrow on thy green banks sigh | A |
| And all thy form is but a beauteous tomb | Q |
| - | |
| Ah may each future suff'rer hov'ring near | R |
| Rais'd by thy genial wave delighted view | S |
| Returning joy and health supremely dear | R |
| Long lost to him who sadly sighs adieu | S |
