| 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 |

| Then tell me not that I shall grow | J |
| Forlorn that fields and woods will cloy | K |
| From Nature and her changes flow | J |

| 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 |
