Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEDE FGHG DIJI KLML| WHERE are the joys I have met in the morning | A |

| Fain would I hide what I fear to discover | D |
| Yet long long too well have I known | I |
| All that has caused this wreck in my bosom | J |

| Nor Hope dare a comfort bestow | L |
| Come then enamour'd and fond of my anguish | M |
| Enjoyment I'll seek in my woe | L |
