Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEG HIHI| Behold the semblance of thy flower | A |
| I could not fill its leaves with dew | B |
| Shew its tints varying with the hour | A |
| Its motion as the zephyrs blew | B |
| - | |
| And beauty too were more complete | C |
| Appearing on the native stem | D |
| In midst of buds and blossoms sweet | C |
| And catching graces charms from them | D |
| - | |
| Or blooming under eyes like thine | E |
| Whose fond soft gaze whose tender tear | F |
| Must also losing power divine | E |
| Awake no answering sweetness here | G |
| - | |
| For much of loveliness must sleep | H |
| E'en when inspir'd and led by truth | I |
| The faithful pencil aims to keep | H |
| Mildness and innocence and youth | I |
