| Whose ever varying ever witching song | B |
| Revibrates on the heart | C |
| With magic thrilling touch | D |
| Till ev'ry nerve with quiv'ring throb divine | E |
| In madd'ning tumults owns thy wondrous pow'r | F |
| For well thy dulcet notes | G |
| Can wind the mazy song | B |
| In labyrinth of wild fantastic form | H |
| Or with empassion'd pathos woo the soul | I |
| With sounds more sweetly mild | J |
| Than SAPPHO's plaint forlorn | K |
| When bending o'er the wave she sung her woes | L |
| While pitying ECHO hover'd o'er the deep | M |
| Till in their coral caves | N |
| The tuneful NEREIDES wept | O |
| AH whither art thou flown where pours thy song | B |
| The model and the pride of British bards | N |
| Sweet STAR of FANCY's orb | P |
| O tell me tell me where | Q |
| - | |
| Say dost thou waste it on the viewless air | Q |
| That bears it to the confines of high Heav'n | K |
| Or does it court the meed | O |
| Of proud pre eminence | N |
| Or steals it o'er the glitt'ring Sapphire wave | R |
| Calming the tempest with its silver sounds | N |
| Or does it charm to love | S |
| The fond believing maid | O |
| Or does it hover o'er the ALPINE steep | M |
| Or softly breathing under myrtle shades | N |
| With SYMPATHY divine | K |
| Solace the child of woe | T |
| Where'er thou art Oh let thy gentle strain | K |
| Again with magic pow'r delight mine ear | U |
| Untutor'd in the spells | N |
| And mysteries of song | B |
| Then on the margin of the deep I'll muse | N |
| And bless the rocking bark ordain'd to bear | Q |
| My sad heart o'er the wave | R |
| From this ungrateful isle | V |
| When the wan queen of night with languid eye | W |
| Peeps o'er the mountain's head or thro' the vale | X |
| Illumes the glassy brook | Y |
| Or dew besprinkled heath | Z |
| Or with her crystal lamp directs the feet | O |
| Of the benighted TRAV'LLER cold and sad | O |
| Thro' the long forest drear | Q |
| And pathless labyrinth | A2 |
| To the poor PEASANT's hospitable cot | O |
| For ever open to the wretch forlorn | K |
| O then I'll think on THEE | B2 |
| And iterate thy strain | K |
| And chaunt thy matchless numbers o'er and o'er | Q |
| And I will court the sullen ear of night | O |
| To bear the rapt'rous sound | O |
| On her dark shad'wy wing | C2 |
| To where encircled by the sacred NINE | K |
| Thy LYRE awakes the never dying song | B |
| Now BARD admir'd farwel | X |
| The white sail flutters loud | O |
| The gaudy streamers lengthen in the gale | X |
| Far from my native shore I bend my way | D2 |
| Yet as my aching eye | W |
| Shall view the less'ning cliff | E2 |
| 'Till its stupendous head shall scarce appear | Q |
| Above the surface of the swelling deep | M |
| I'll snatch a ray of hope | F2 |
| For HOPE's the lamp divine | K |
| That lights and vivifies the fainting soul | X |
| With extacies beyond the pow'rs of song | B |
| That ere I reach those banks | N |
| Where the loud TIBER flows | N |
| Or milder ARNO slowly steals along | B |
| To the soft music of the summer breeze | N |
| The wafting wing of TIME | G2 |
| May bear this last ADIEU | O |
| This wild untutor'd picture of the heart | O |
| To HIM whose magic verse INSPIR'D THE STRAIN | K |
