Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKFLM NOFPQRNSTU| A sterner errand to the silken troop | A |
| Has quenched the uneasy blush that warmed my cheek | B |
| I am commissioned in my day of joy | C |
| To leave my woods and streams and the sweet sloth | D |
| Of prayer and song that were my dear delight | E |
| To leave the rudeness of my woodland life | F |
| Sweet twilight walks and midnight solitude | G |
| And kind acquaintance with the morning stars | H |
| And the glad hey day of my household hours | I |
| The innocent mirth which sweetens daily bread | J |
| Railing in love to those who rail again | K |
| By mind's industry sharpening the love of life | F |
| Books Muses Study fireside friends and love | L |
| I loved ye with true love so fare ye well | M |
| - | |
| I was a boy boyhood slid gayly by | N |
| And the impatient years that trod on it | O |
| Taught me new lessons in the lore of life | F |
| I've learned the sum of that sad history | P |
| All woman born do know that hoped for days | Q |
| Days that come dancing on fraught with delights | R |
| Dash our blown hopes as they limp heavily by | N |
| But I the bantling of a country Muse | S |
| Abandon all those toys with speed to obey | T |
| The King whose meek ambassador I go | U |
