Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDEEDDDFFDGGD| Me tho' in life's sequester'd vale | A |
| The Almighty sire ordain'd to dwell | B |
| Remote from glory's toilsome ways | C |
| And the great scenes of public praise | C |
| Yet let me still with grateful pride | D |
| Remember how my infant frame | E |
| He temper'd with prophetic flame | E |
| And early music to my tongue supply'd | D |
| 'Twas then my future fate he weigh'd | D |
| And This be thy concern he said | D |
| At once with Passion's keen alarms | F |
| And Beauty's pleasurable charms | F |
| And sacred Truth's eternal light | D |
| To move the various mind of Man | G |
| Till under one unblemish'd plan | G |
| His Reason Fancy and his Heart unite | D |
