| The bright haired morn is glowing | B |
| O'er emerald meadows gay | C |
| With many a clear gem strewing | C |
| The early shepherd's way | C |
| Ye gentle elves by Fancy seen | D |
| Stealing away with night | E |
| To slumber in your leafy screen | D |
| Tread more than airy light | E |
| - | |
| And see what joyous greeting | C |
| The sun through heaven has shed | F |
| Though fast yon shower be fleeting | C |
| His beams have faster sped | F |
| For lo above the western haze | G |
| High towers the rainbow arch | H |
| In solid span of purest rays | G |
| How stately is its march | H |
| - | |
| Pride of the dewy morning | C |
| The swain's experienced eye | I |
| From thee takes timely warning | C |
| Nor trusts the gorgeous sky | I |
| For well he knows such dawnings gay | C |

| Should watchful shepherd view | A |
| His little lambs assembling | C |
| With glance both kind and true | A |

| That seem for aid parental | L |
| To sue all wistfully | M |
| Still pressing longing to be right | E |
| Yet fearing to be wrong | C |
| In these the Pastor dares delight | E |
| A lamb like Christ like throng | C |
| - | |
| These in Life's distant even | N |
| Shall shine serenely bright | E |
| As in th' autumnal heaven | O |
| Mild rainbow tints at night | E |
| When the last shower is stealing down | P |
| And ere they sink to rest | K |
| The sun beams weave a parting crown | P |
| For some sweet woodland nest | K |
| - | |
| The promise of the morrow | Q |
| Is glorious on that eve | A |
| Dear as the holy sorrow | Q |
| When good men cease to live | A |
| When brightening ere it die away | C |
| Mounts up their altar flame | R |
| Still tending with intenser ray | C |
| To Heaven whence first it came | R |
| - | |
| Say not it dies that glory | M |
| 'Tis caught unquenched on high | I |
| Those saintlike brows so hoary | M |
| Shall wear it in the sky | I |
| No smile is like the smile of death | S |
| When all good musings past | T |
| Rise wafted with the parting breath | S |
| The sweetest thought the last | T |
