| When the grey evening spreads a calm around | B |
| Tell me has thy bewilder'd fancy sought | C |
| Retir'd in some sequestered spot of ground | B |
| Rest from the labour of eternal thought | C |
| - | |
| When wrapt in self the soul enjoys repose | D |
| The wearied brain resigns its fervent heat | E |
| In dream like musing every care we lose | F |
| And wind our way with slowly moving feet | E |
| - | |
| Oft to indulge the thought exploded sig | G |
| When slowly wandering at the close of day | H |
| Light emanations from th'abstracted eye | I |
| With transient beauty in the sun beams play | H |

| Thy sister seeks the solitary shade | J |
| Her mind inhaling the aerial gloom | K |
| Sees not observing the fair landscape fade | J |
| And sullen mist usurping day light's room | K |
| - | |
| Not her's the feelings which regret inspires | L |
| When sorrows keen have made the spirits low | M |
| Adversity has damp'd the youthful fires | N |
| And all the tears that fall are tears of woe | M |

| Ah no possessing every social bliss | O |
| I cannot will not at my fate repine | P |
| Or ask for happiness excelling this | O |
| When such a world of treasures now are mine | P |
| - | |
| And when the melancholy grove I seek | Q |
| Scarce can my palpitating heart controul | M |
| While silent tears are trembling on my cheek | Q |
| The flood of pleasure swelling in my soul | M |
| - | |
| But soon my too elated thoughts are calm | R |
| The tumults of the mental chaos cease | S |
| A soft oblivion the rais'd senses charm | T |
| And lull to a reflecting soothing peace | S |
| - | |
| Hail sweet enhancements of the languid mind | U |
| Whose calm reposes restless worldlings scorn | P |
| But from whose aid recruited strength we find | U |
| And waken lively as the bird of morn | P |
| - | |
| And thou lov'd boy in whose congenial breast | V |
| I doubt not but those sentiments reside | W |
| For we our thoughts our actions have confest | W |
| As much in hearts as persons are allied | W |
| - | |
| Hail thou my brother may thy steps be led | W |
| By heav'nly wisdom through this world of care | X |
| And gain the realms for which our Saviour bled | W |
| Nor pain nor lassitude await us there | X |
