| Thou art my friend and I'm not thine | B |
| Long through thy weary crowds I roam | A |
| A river ark on the ocean brine | B |
| Long I've been tossed like the driven foam | A |
| But now proud world I'm going home | A |
| - | |
| Good bye to Flattery's fawning face | C |
| To Grandeur with his wise grimace | D |
| To upstart Wealth's averted eye | E |
| To supple Office low and high | E |
| To crowded halls to court and street | F |
| To frozen hearts and hasting feet | F |
| To those who go and those who come | G |
| Good bye proud world I'm going home | A |
| - | |
| I am going to my own hearth stone | H |
| Bosomed to yon green hills alone | H |
| A secret nook in a pleasant land | I |
| Whose groves the frolic fairies planned | I |
| Where arches green the livelong day | J |
| Echo the blackbird's roundelay | K |
| And vulgar feet have never trod | L |
| A spot that is sacred to thought and God | L |
| - | |
| O when I am safe in my sylvan home | A |
| I tread on the pride of Greece and Rome | A |
| And when I am stretched beneath the pines | M |
| Where the evening star so holy shines | M |
| I laugh at the lore and the pride of man | N |
| At the sophist schools and the learned clan | N |
| For what are they all in their high conceit | F |
| When man in the bush with God may meet | F |
