Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD EEFF GGHH IJBB KLKLMM| Where the pheasant roosts at night | A |
| Lonely drowsy out of sight | A |
| Where the evening breezes sigh | B |
| Solitary there stray I | B |
| - | |
| Close along the shaded stream | C |
| Source of many a youthful dream | C |
| Where branchy cedars dim the day | D |
| There I muse and there I stray | D |
| - | |
| Yet what can please amid this bower | E |
| That charmed the eye for many an hour | E |
| The budding leaf is lost to me | F |
| And dead the bloom on every tree | F |
| - | |
| The winding stream that glides along | G |
| The lark that tunes her early song | G |
| The mountain's brow the sloping vale | H |
| The murmuring of the western gale | H |
| - | |
| Have lost their charms the blooms are gone | I |
| Trees put a darker aspect on | J |
| The stream disgusts that wanders by | B |
| And every zephyr brings a sigh | B |
| - | |
| Great guardian of our feeble kind | K |
| Restoring Nature lend thine aid | L |
| And o'er the features of the mind | K |
| Renew those colors that must fade | L |
| When vernal suns forbear to roll | M |
| And endless winter chills the soul | M |
