Rhyme Scheme: AB CDDEFFGHII JBJBKK IGIGLLMM NNBBOO PFPFKK| With female Fairies will thy tomb be haunted | A |
| And worms will not come to thee SHAKSPERE | B |
| - | |
| - | |
| WHEN from Day's closing eye the lucid tears | C |
| Fall lightly on the bending lily's head | D |
| When o'er the blushing sky night's curtains spread | D |
| And the tall mountain's summit scarce appears | E |
| When languid Evening sinking to repose | F |
| Her filmy mantle o'er the landscape throws | F |
| Of THEE I'll sing and as the mournful song | G |
| Glides in slow numbers the dark woods among | H |
| My wand'ring steps shall seek the lonely shade | I |
| Where all thy virtues all thy griefs are laid | I |
| - | |
| Yes hopeless suff'rer friendless and forlorn | J |
| Sweet victim of love's power the silent tear | B |
| Shall oft at twilight's close and glimm'ring morn | J |
| Gem the pale primrose that adorns thy bier | B |
| And as the balmy dew ascends to heaven | K |
| Thy crime shall steal away thy frailty be forgiv'n | K |
| - | |
| Oft by the moon's wan beam the love lorn maid | I |
| Led by soft SYMPATHY shall stroll along | G |
| Oft shall she listen in the Lime tree's shade | I |
| Her cold blood freezing at the night owl's song | G |
| Or when she hears the death bell's solemn sound | L |
| Her light steps echoing o'er the hollow ground | L |
| Oft shall the trickling tear adorn her cheek | M |
| Thy pow'r O SENSIBILITY in magic charms to speak | M |
| - | |
| For the poor PILGRIM doom'd afar to roam | N |
| From the dear comforts of his native home | N |
| A glitt'ring star puts forth a silv'ry ray | B |
| Soothes his sad heart and marks his tedious way | B |
| The short liv'd radiance cheers the gloom of night | O |
| And decks Heaven's murky dome with transitory light | O |
| - | |
| So from the mournful CHARLOTTE's dark orb'd lids | P |
| The sainted tear of pitying VIRTUE flows | F |
| And the last boon the churlish priest forbids | P |
| On thy lone grave the sacred drop bestows | F |
| There shall the sparkling dews of Evening shine | K |
| AND HEAVEN'S OWN INCENSE CONSECRATE THE SHRINE | K |
