Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC ADADEE FAFAGG AHAIJJ AKAKLL| Lucy I think not of thy beauty | A |
| I praise not each peculiar grace | B |
| To see thee in the path of duty | A |
| And with that happy smiling face | B |
| Conveys more pleasure to thy friend | C |
| Than any outward charm could lend | C |
| - | |
| I see thy graceful babes caress thee | A |
| I mark thy wise maternal care | D |
| And sadly do the words impress me | A |
| The magic words that thou art fair | D |
| I wonder that a tongue is found | E |
| To utter the unfeeling sound | E |
| - | |
| For art thou not above such praises | F |
| And is this all that they can see | A |
| Poor is the joy such flattery raises | F |
| And oh how much unworthy thee | A |
| Unworthy one whose heart can feel | G |
| The voice of truth the warmth of zeal | G |
| - | |
| O Lucy thou art snatch'd from folly | A |
| Become too tender to be vain | H |
| The world it makes me melancholy | A |
| The world would lure thee back again | I |
| And it would cost me many sighs | J |
| To see it win so bright a prize | J |
| - | |
| Though passing apprehensions move me | A |
| I know thou hast a noble heart | K |
| But Lucy I so truly love thee | A |
| So much admire thee as thou art | K |
| That but the shadow of a fear | L |
| Wakes in my breast a pang sincere | L |
