| Whose magic spells enchain the heart | B |
| Ah what avails thy fascinating pow'r | C |
| Thy thrilling smile thy witching art | B |
| Thy lip where balmy nectar glows | D |
| Thy cheek where round the damask rose | D |
| A thousand nameless Graces move | E |
| Thy mildly speaking azure eyes | F |
| Thy golden hair where cunning Love | G |
| In many a mazy ringlet lies | F |
| Soon as thy radiant form is seen | H |
| Thy native blush thy timid mien | H |
| Thy hour is past thy charms are vain | I |
| ILL NATURE haunts thee with her sallow train | I |
| Mean JEALOUSY deceives thy list'ning ear | J |
| And SLANDER stains thy cheek with many a bitter tear | K |
| - | |
| In calm retirement form'd to dwell | L |
| NATURE thy handmaid fair and kind | M |
| For thee a beauteous garland twin'd | M |
| The vale nurs'd Lily's downcast bell | L |
| Thy modest mien display'd | N |
| The snow drop April's meekest child | O |
| With myrtle blossoms undefil'd | O |
| Thy mild and spotless mind pourtray'd | O |
| Dear blushing maid of cottage birth | P |
| 'Twas thine o'er dewy meads to stray | Q |
| While sparkling health and frolic mirth | P |
| Led on thy laughing Day | Q |
| - | |
| Lur'd by the babbling tongue of FAME | R |
| Too soon insidious FLATT'RY came | R |
| Flush'd VANITY her footsteps led | O |
| To charm thee from thy blest repose | D |
| While Fashion twin'd about thy head | O |
| A wreath of wounding woes | D |
| See Dissipation smoothly glide | O |
| Cold Apathy and puny Pride | O |
| Capricious Fortune dull and blind | O |
| O'er splendid Folly throws her veil | S |
| While Envy's meagre tribe assail | S |
| Thy gentle form and spotless mind | O |
| - | |
| Their spells prevail no more those eyes | F |
| Shoot undulating fires | T |
| On thy wan cheek the young rose dies | F |
| Thy lip's deep tint expires | T |
| Dark Melancholy chills thy mind | O |
| Thy silent tear reveals thy woe | U |
| TIME strews with thorns thy mazy way | Q |
| Where'er thy giddy footsteps stray | Q |
| Thy thoughtless heart is doom'd to find | O |
| An unrelenting foe | U |
| - | |
| 'Tis thus the infant Forest flow'r | C |
| Bespangled o'er with glitt'ring dew | O |
| At breezy morn's refreshing hour | A |
| Glows with pure tints of varying hue | O |
| Beneath an aged oak's wide spreading shade | O |
| Where no rude winds or beating storms invade | O |
| Transplanted from its lonely bed | O |
| No more it scatters perfumes round | O |
| No more it rears its gentle head | O |
| Or brightly paints the mossy ground | O |
| For ah the beauteous bud too soon | V |
| Scorch'd by the burning eye of day | Q |
| Shrinks from the sultry glare of noon | V |
| Droops its enamell'd brow and blushing dies away | Q |
