| Welcome silence welcome peace | B |
| O most welcome holy shade | C |
| Thus I prove as years increase | B |
| My heart and soul for quiet made | C |
| Thus I fix my firm belief | D |
| While rapture's gushing tears descend | E |
| That every flower and every leaf | D |
| Is moral Truth's unerring friend | E |
| - | |
| I would not for a world of gold | F |
| That Nature's lovely face should tire | G |
| Fountain of blessings yet untold | F |
| Pure source of intellectual fire | G |
| Fancy's fair buds the germs of song | H |
| Unquicken'd midst the world's rude strife | I |
| Shall sweet retirement render strong | H |
| And morning silence bring to life | I |
| - | |
| Then tell me not that I shall grow | J |
| Forlorn that fields and woods will cloy | K |
| From Nature and her changes flow | J |
| An everlasting tide of joy | K |
| I grant that summer heats will burn | L |
| That keen will come the frosty night | M |
| But both shall please and each in turn | L |
| Yield Reason's most supreme delight | M |
| - | |
| Build me a shrine and I could kneel | N |
| To Rural Gods or prostrate fall | O |
| Did I not see did I not feel | N |
| That one GREAT SPIRIT governs all | O |
| O heav'n permit that I may lie | P |
| Where o'er my corse green branches ware | Q |
| And those who from life's tumult fly | P |
| With kindred feelings press my grave | R |
