Rhyme Scheme: A BCCBCDDEEFFGHGH| John Pierpont the eloquent preacher and poet of Boston | A |
| - | |
| Not as a poor requital of the joy | B |
| With which my childhood heard that lay of thine | C |
| Which like an echo of the song divine | C |
| At Bethlehem breathed above the Holy Boy | B |
| Bore to my ear the Airs of Palestine | C |
| Not to the poet but the man I bring | D |
| In friendship's fearless trust my offering | D |
| How much it lacks I feel and thou wilt see | E |
| Yet well I know that thou Last deemed with me | E |
| Life all too earnest and its time too short | F |
| For dreamy ease and Fancy's graceful sport | F |
| And girded for thy constant strife with wrong | G |
| Like Nehemiah fighting while he wrought | H |
| The broken walls of Zion even thy song | G |
| Hath a rude martial tone a blow in every thought | H |
