| I met thee like the morning though more fair | B |
| And hopes 'gan travel for a glorious day | C |
| And though night met them ere they were aware | B |
| Leading the joyous pilgrims all astray | C |
| Yet know I not though they did miss their way | C |
| That joyed so much to meet thee if they are | D |
| To blame or bless the fate that bade such be | E |
| Thou seem'dst an angel when I met thee first | F |
| Nor has aught made thee otherwise to me | E |
| Possession has not cloyed my love nor curst | F |
| Fancy's wild visions with reality | F |
| Thou art an angel still and Hope awoke | G |
| From the fond spell that early raptures nurst | F |
| Still feels a joy to think that spell ne'er broke | G |

| The flower that's gathered beauty soon forsakes | H |
| The bliss grows feeble as we gain the prize | H |
| Love dreams of joy and in possession wakes | H |
| Scarce time enough to hail it ere it dies | H |
| Life intermingles with its cares and sighs | H |
| And rapture's dreams are ended Heavenly flower | I |
| It is not so with thee Still fancy's power | I |
| Throws rainbow halos round thee and thine eyes | H |
| That once did steal their sapphire blue from even | J |
| Are beaming on thy cheeks' bewitching dye | A |
| Where partial roses all their blooms had given | K |
| Still in fond memory with the rose can vie | A |
| And thy sweet bosom which to view was heaven | K |
| No lily yet a fairer hue supplies | H |
