Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDED FGHG IJKJ HAFA| Delicious gloom asylum of repose | A |
| Within your verdant shades your tranquil bound | B |
| A wretched fugitive A oppress'd by woes | A |
| The balm of peace that long had left him found | B |
| - | |
| Ne'er does the trump of war disturb this grove | C |
| Throughout its deep recess the warbling bird | D |
| Discourses sweetly of its happy lore | E |
| Or distant sounds of rural joy are heard | D |
| - | |
| Life's checquer'd scene is softly pictur'd here | F |
| Here the proud moss rose spreads its transient pride | G |
| Close by the willow drops a dewy tear | H |
| And gaudy flow'rs the modest lily hide | G |
| - | |
| Alas poor Hermit happy had it been | I |
| For thee if in these shades thy days had past | J |
| If well contented with the happy scene | K |
| Thou ne'er again had fac'd life's stormy blast | J |
| - | |
| And Pity oft shall shed the gen'rous tear | H |
| O'er the sad moral which thy days disclose | A |
| There view how restless is our nature here | F |
| How strangely hostile to its own repose | A |
