| AURORA lifts the torch of day | B |
| The shad'wy brow of Night recedes | A |
| Cold dew drops fall from every spray | B |
| Now o'er the thistle's rugged head | C |
| Thin veils of filmy vapour fly | D |
| On ev'ry violet's perfum'd bed | C |
| The sparkling gems of Nature lie | D |
| - | |
| The hill's tall brow is crown'd with gold | E |
| The Milk maid trills her jocund lay | B |
| The Shepherd boy unpens his fold | E |
| The Lambs along the meadows play | B |
| The pilf'ring LARK with speckled breast | F |
| From the ripe sheaf's rich banquet flies | G |
| And lifting high his plumy crest | F |
| Soars the proud tenant of the skies | G |
| - | |
| The PEASANT steals with timid feet | H |
| And gently taps the cottage door | I |
| Or on the green sod takes his seat | H |
| And chaunts some well known ditty o'er | J |
| Wak'd by the strain the blushing MAID | K |
| Unpractis'd in Love's mazy wiles | L |
| In clean but homely garb array'd | K |
| From the small casement peeps and smiles | L |
| - | |
| Proud CHANTICLEER unfolds his wing | M |
| And flutt'ring struts in plumage gay | B |
| The glades with vocal echoes ring | M |
| Soft odours deck the hawthorn spray | B |
| The SCHOOL BOY saunters o'er the green | N |
| With satchel fill'd with Learning's store | I |
| While with dejected sullen mien | N |
| He cons his tedious lesson o'er | J |
| - | |
| When WINTER spreads her banner chill | O |
| And sweeps the vale with freezing pow'r | P |
| And binds in spells the vagrant rill | O |
| And shrivels ev'ry ling'ring flow'r | P |
| When NATURE quits her verdant dress | Q |
| And drops to earth her icy tears | R |
| E'EN THEN thy tardy glance can bless | Q |
| And soft thy weeping eye appears | S |
| - | |
| Then at the Horn's enliv'ning peal | T |
| Keen Sportsmen for the chase prepare | U |
| Thro' the young Copse shrill echoes steal | T |
| Swift flies the tim'rous panting hare | U |
| From ev'ry straw thatch'd cottage soars | V |
| Blue curling smoke in many a cloud | W |
| Around the Barn's expanded doors | V |
| The feather'd throng impatient crowd | W |
| - | |
| Such are thy charms health breathing scene | N |
| Where Nature's children revel gay | B |
| Where Plenty smiles with radiant mien | N |
| And Labour crowns the circling day | B |
| Where Peace in conscious Virtue blest | F |
| Invites the Heart to joy supreme | X |
| While polish'd Splendour pants for rest | F |
| And pines in Fashion's fev'rish dream | X |
