Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDEEFFGGHHIIJJKL MN| Tell me maiden dost thou use | A |
| Thyself thro' Nature to diffuse | A |
| All the angles of the coast | B |
| Were tenanted by thy sweet ghost | B |
| Bore thy colors every flower | C |
| Thine each leaf and berry bore | D |
| All wore thy badges and thy favors | E |
| In their scent or in their savors | E |
| Every moth with painted wing | F |
| Every bird in carolling | F |
| The wood boughs with thy manners waved | G |
| The rocks uphold thy name engraved | G |
| The sod throbbed friendly to my feet | H |
| And the sweet air with thee was sweet | H |
| The saffron cloud that floated warm | I |
| Studied thy motion took thy form | I |
| And in his airy road benign | J |
| Recalled thy skill in bold design | J |
| Or seemed to use his privilege | K |
| To gaze o'er the horizon's edge | L |
| To search where now thy beauty glowed | M |
| Or made what other purlieus proud | N |
