Rhyme Scheme: ABCCBBC ADEEFGE AHIIAAI| I | A |
| Dar st thou amid the varied multitude | B |
| To live alone an isolated thing | C |
| To see the busy beings round thee spring | C |
| And care for none in thy calm solitude | B |
| A flower that scarce breathes in the desert rude | B |
| To Zephyr s passing wing | C |

| II | A |
| Not the swart Pariah in some Indian grove | D |
| Lone lean and hunted by his brother s hate | E |
| Hath drunk so deep the cup of bitter fate | E |
| As that poor wretch who cannot cannot love | F |
| He bears a load which nothing can remove | G |
| A killing withering weight | E |

| III | A |
| He smiles 'tis sorrow's deadliest mockery | H |
| He speaks the cold words flow not from his soul | I |
| He acts like others drains the genial bowl | I |
| Yet yet he longs although he fears to die | A |
| He pants to reach what yet he seems to fly | A |
| Dull life's extremest goal | I |
