| The day returns my bosom burns | B |
| The blissful day we twa did meet | C |
| Tho' winter wild in tempest toil'd | D |
| Ne'er summer sun was half sae sweet | C |
| Than a' the pride that loads the tide | E |
| And crosses o'er the sultry line | F |
| Than kingly robes than crowns and globes | G |
| Heaven gave me more it made thee mine | F |

| While day and night can bring delight | H |
| Or nature aught of pleasure give | I |
| While joys above my mind can move | J |
| For thee and thee alone I live | K |
| When that grim foe of life below | L |
| Comes in between to make us part | M |
| The iron hand that breaks our band | N |
| It breaks my bliss it breaks my heart | M |
