| There was a cradling lent us here | B |
| To cheer our lot | C |
| It was a cherub in disguise | D |
| But yet our dim and earth bow'd eyes | D |
| Perceiv'd it not | C |
| - | |
| Its voice was like the symphony | E |
| That lute strings lend | F |
| Yet tho' our hearts the music hail'd | G |
| As a sweet breath of heaven they fail'd | G |
| To comprehend | F |
| - | |
| It linger'd till each season fill'd | H |
| Their perfect round | I |
| The vernal bud the summer rose | J |
| Autumnal gold and wintry snows | J |
| Whitening the ground | I |
| - | |
| But when again reviving Spring | K |
| Thro' flowers would roam | L |
| And the white cherry blossoms stirr'd | M |
| Neath the soft wing of chirping bird | M |
| A call from angel harps was heard | M |
| Cherub come home | L |
