Rhyme Scheme: A B C D E F G H I J K K L M K N O P Q R M S K| 'Tis eve the sun is sinking in the lake | A |
| - | |
| The lake all glorious with his golden beams | B |
| - | |
| Whose calm clear breast reflects the mountains back | C |
| - | |
| That raise their huge heads to the varied clouds | D |
| - | |
| The trees and flowers that grow along its banks | E |
| - | |
| Smile in the lucid mirror Every bough | F |
| - | |
| Is vocal with the song of glittering birds | G |
| - | |
| Whose plumes are borrow'd from the rainbow's hues | H |
| - | |
| No other sound disturbs the silent air | I |
| - | |
| Although a prostrate nation is around | J |
| - | |
| Watching the last rays of the setting sun | K |
| - | |
| In solemn and in graceful adoration | K |
| - | |
| - | |
| The purple clouds grow deeper deeper still | L |
| - | |
| Till the resplendent orb is seen no more | M |
| - | |
| - | |
| But where he sunk upon the bright lake's margin | K |
| - | |
| Appear two forms majestic and erect | N |
| - | |
| Cloth'd in rich garments hand in hand | O |
| - | |
| They come | P |
| - | |
| Onward they come across the yielding waters | Q |
| - | |
| That give them passage | R |
| - | |
| Now they reach the shore | M |
| - | |
| While with glad shouts the people rend the skies | S |
| - | |
| All hail ye mighty Children of the Sun | K |
