Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFGF HIHI JKJK LFBF MDMD| Sister sweet sister years have passed away | A |
| Since first 'mid warm hearts sunny frank and true | B |
| I commenced rhyming on thy natal day | A |
| On the green sod where Erin's shamrock grew | B |
| - | |
| 'Twas in that age that ne'er returns again | C |
| Whose tears are but as dew on Summer flowers | D |
| And young warm hearts beat kindly round us then | C |
| And eyes beamed brightly answering love to ours | D |
| - | |
| And now an exile from my native land | E |
| Thinking of well remembered loved Grace Hill | F |
| To mine own sister verses I will send | G |
| Worthless yet proving that I love her still | F |
| - | |
| It is thy birthday and I am alone | H |
| Thinking of that dear land that gave us birth | I |
| The land of hearts that beat to truth alone | H |
| The brightest emerald gem of all the earth | I |
| - | |
| These fond regrets that press around my heart | J |
| And bring a pain I cannot rise above | K |
| Makes thee still dearer here alone apart | J |
| For fate has left me nothing else to love | K |
| - | |
| Changing life and ever swallowing death | L |
| Have taken what I loved against my will | F |
| But never mind for thou kind hearted true | B |
| Changeless and noble thou art left me still | F |
| - | |
| Happy returns I surely wish thee Ann | M |
| In this new land that's fated to be ours | D |
| And may you have a happy heart that can | M |
| Enjoy the sunshine and endure the showers | D |
