Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFGH IJIJ KLKL| Lo Spring array'd in primrose colour'd robe | A |
| Fresh beauties sheds on each enliven'd scene | B |
| With show'rs and sunshine cheers the smiling globe | A |
| And mantles hill and vale in glowing green | B |
| - | |
| All nature feels her vital heat around | C |
| The pregnant glebe now bursts with foodful grain | D |
| With kindly warmth she opes the frozen ground | C |
| And with new life informs the teeming plain | D |
| - | |
| She calls the fish from out their ouzy beds | E |
| And animates the deep with genial love | F |
| She bids the herds bound sportive o'er the meads | G |
| And with glad songs awakes the joyous grove | H |
| - | |
| No more the glaring tiger roams for prey | I |
| All powerful love subdues his savage soul | J |
| To find his spotted mate he darts away | I |
| While gentler thoughts the thirst of blood controul | J |
| - | |
| But ah while all is warmth and soft desire | K |
| While all around Spring's cheerful spirit own | L |
| You feel not Amoret her quickening fire | K |
| To Spring's kind influence you a foe alone | L |
