| For those sweet verses thou didst send | A |
| So good they were and witty | B |
| And now I will confess to thee | B |
| Mixed up with bad much good I see | B |
| Within the crowded city | B |
| - | |
| Boston with all thy faults I love | C |
| Thee still though much I disapprove | D |
| See much in thee to blame | E |
| Yet to be candid I'll allow | F |
| Thy equal no one can me show | G |
| From Mexico to Maine | H |
| - | |
| It is my boast perhaps my pride | I |
| To be to English blood allied | I |
| Warm in my veins it's flowing | J |
| And when I see the homage given | K |
| To foreign men and foreign women | K |
| That blood with shame is glowing | J |
| - | |
| I hope when Kossuth fever's cool | L |
| And we have put our wits to school | L |
| And sober senses found | M |
| When the Hungarian's out of sight | N |
| And shattered brains collected quite | N |
| We may be safe and sound | M |
| - | |
| But what simpletons should we choose | O |
| With nought to gain and much to loose | P |
| 'Gainst Austria to war | Q |
| What greater folly when we know | G |
| By doing this we'll get a blow | G |
| From the ambitious Czar | R |
| - | |
| But you may not with me agree | B |
| And I am getting warm I see | B |
| So here I bid adieu | S |
| To Kossuth and to Hungary | B |
| To Russia and to Germany | B |
| And the great Emperor too | S |
| - | |
| And now my friend a word I'd say | T |
| Before I throw my pen away | T |
| On subject most important | U |
| In doing this I need not fear | V |
| I shall offend the nicest ear | W |
| Or strike a note discordant | U |
| - | |
| Oh had I true poetic fire | X |
| With boldness would I strike the lyre | Y |
| So loud that all might hear | W |
| But ah my harp is tuned so low | G |
| Its feeble strains I full well know | G |
| Can reach no distant ear | W |
| - | |
| Yet I rejoice that harps on high | Z |
| And voices of sweet harmony | B |
| Are raised to bless the name | E |
| Of Him who sits upon the throne | A2 |
| Rejoicing over souls new born | B2 |
| Who soon will join with them | C2 |
| Eternally His name to adore | Q |
| Who died yet lives forevermore | Q |
| - | |
