Rhyme Scheme: AABB CDEE FFGG HHIJKK| The Moon had bespangled the murmuring wave | A |
| The dew drop had moisten'd the moss of the cave | A |
| The summer night breeze like a sigh was just heard | B |
| When thus flow'd the strains of the dark warbling bird | B |
| - | |
| I hear a strange melody breathe thro' the grove | C |
| Now swelling with joy and now melting with love | D |
| Tho' sweet is the sound yet it should not invade | E |
| Unbidden my lonely dominion of shade | E |
| - | |
| As long as the stars that now twinkle shall shine | F |
| This willow's my throne and all nature is mine | F |
| Perchance 'tis the breeze on your desolate lute | G |
| Its strings are now sighing so long that were mute | G |
| - | |
| Ah no silly bird that I am shall I grieve | H |
| Shall Envy alarm and shall Folly deceive | H |
| 'Tis the voice of Eliza I hear it again | I |
| Enraptur'd I hear it nor envy the strain | J |
| Then Philomel flutter'd with tremulous wing | K |
| To Eliza more happy to listen than sing | K |
