Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCE BFBF CGCB HDHE| Whene'er thy wandering footstep bends | A |
| Its pathway to the Hermit tree | B |
| Among its cordial band of friends | A |
| Sweet Mary wilt thou number me | B |
| - | |
| Though all too few the hours have roll'd | C |
| That saw the stranger linger here | D |
| In memory's volume let them hold | C |
| One little spot to friendship dear | E |
| - | |
| I oft have thought how sweet 'twould be | B |
| To steal the bird of Eden's art | F |
| And leave behind a trace of me | B |
| On every kind and friendly heart | F |
| - | |
| And like the breeze in fragrance rolled | C |
| To gather as I wander by | G |
| From every soul of kindred mould | C |
| Some touch of cordial sympathy | B |
| - | |
| 'Tis the best charm in life's dull dream | H |
| To feel that yet there linger here | D |
| Bright eyes that look with fond esteem | H |
| And feeling hearts that hold me dear | E |
