| SWEET blushing Nymph who loves to dwell | B |
| In the dark forest's silent gloom | C |
| Who smiles within the Hermit's cell | B |
| And sighs upon the rustic's tomb | C |
| Who pitying sees the busy throng | D |
| The slaves of fashion's giddy sway | E |
| Who in a wild and artless song | D |
| Warbles the feath'ry hours away | E |
| - | |
| Oft have I flown thy steps to trace | F |
| In the low valley's still retreat | G |
| Oft have I view'd thy blooming face | F |
| In the small cottage proudly neat | G |
| I've seen thee veil'd in vestal lawn | A |
| In the cold cloyster's hallow'd shade | H |
| I've seen thee at the peep of dawn | A |
| In simple russet garb array'd | H |
| - | |
| I've seen thee crowned with APRIL flow'rs | F |
| Light bounding o'er the rural mead | I |
| I've heard thee in sequester'd bow'rs | F |
| Sing to the SHEPHERD'S past'ral reed | I |
| When pleasure led the nymphs along | D |
| In moonlight gambols o'er the green | A |
| I've mark'd THEE fairest of the throng | D |
| With modest eye and timid mien | A |
| - | |
| No more my eager gaze shall trace | F |
| Thy varying footsteps blithe and free | J |
| For what art thou but native grace | F |
| Soft Beauty's child SIMPLICITY | J |
| 'Tis thine in every path to dwell | B |
| Where TRUTH and INNOCENCE are seen | A |
| In cottage low or Hermit's cell | B |
| Or splendid dome or rural green | A |
| - | |
| The spotless MIND the brow serene | A |
| 'Tis THINE enchanting Maid to boast | K |
| The sweet benignant humble mien | A |
| And all that VIRTUE values most | K |
| Thy blushes paint DUNCANNONS's cheek | L |
| Thy light hand weaves her golden hair | M |
| Around her form THY charms I'll seek | L |
| FOR ALL THE GRACES REVEL THERE | M |
