Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDED FGFG HIHI JKJK LMLN O| And said I that all hope was fled | A |
| That sorrow and despair were mine | B |
| That each enthusiast wish was dead | A |
| Had sank beneath pale Misery s shrine | B |
| - | |
| Seest thou the sunbeam's yellow glow | C |
| That robes with liquid streams of light | D |
| Yon distant Mountain's craggy brow | E |
| And shows the rocks so fair so bright | D |
| - | |
| Tis thus sweet expectation s ray | F |
| In softer view shows distant hours | G |
| And portrays each succeeding day | F |
| As dressed in fairer brighter flowers | G |
| - | |
| The vermeil tinted flowers that blossom | H |
| Are frozen but to bud anew | I |
| Then sweet deceiver calm my bosom | H |
| Although thy visions be not true | I |
| - | |
| Yet true they are and I ll believe | J |
| Thy whisperings soft of love and peace | K |
| God never made thee to deceive | J |
| 'Tis sin that bade thy empire cease | K |
| - | |
| Yet though despair my life should gloom | L |
| Though horror should around me close | M |
| With those I love beyond the tomb | L |
| Hope shows a balm for all my woes | N |
