Rhyme Scheme: ABBB BCBC DEDE FGFH IBIB BJBJ BKBK BLBL| UNFADING branch of verdant hue | A |
| In modest sweetness drest | B |
| Shake off thy pearly tears of dew | B |
| And decorate my breast | B |
| - | |
| Dear emblem of the constant mind | B |
| Truth's consecrated tree | C |
| Still shall thy trembling blossoms find | B |
| A faithful friend in me | C |
| - | |
| Nor chilling breeze nor drizzling rain | D |
| Thy glossy leaves can spoil | E |
| Their sober beauties fresh remain | D |
| In every varying soil | E |
| - | |
| If e'er this aching heart of mine | F |
| A wand'ring thought should prove | G |
| O let thy branches round it twine | F |
| And bind it fast to Love | H |
| - | |
| For ah the little fluttering thing | I |
| Amidst LIFE'S tempest rude | B |
| Has felt Affliction's sharpest sting | I |
| YET TRIUMPHS UNSUBDUED | B |
| - | |
| Like THEE it braves the wintry wind | B |
| And mocks the storm's fierce pow'r | J |
| Tho' from its HOPES the blast unkind | B |
| Has torn each promis'd flow'r | J |
| - | |
| Tho' round its fibres barb'rous fate | B |
| Has twin'd an icy spell | K |
| Still in its central fires elate | B |
| The purest passions dwell | K |
| - | |
| When LIFE'S disast'rous scene is fled | B |
| This humble boon I crave | L |
| Oh bind your branches round my head | B |
| AND BLOSSOM ON MY GRAVE | L |
