| Come melancholy Moralizer come | B |
| Gather with me the dark and wintry wreath | C |
| With me engarland now | D |
| The SEPULCHRE OF TIME | E |
| - | |
| Come Moralizer to the funeral song | F |
| I pour the dirge of the Departed Days | G |
| For well the funeral song | F |
| Befits this solemn hour | H |
| - | |
| But hark even now the merry bells ring round | I |
| With clamorous joy to welcome in this day | J |
| This consecrated day | J |
| To Mirth and Indolence | G |
| - | |
| Mortal whilst Fortune with benignant hand | K |
| Fills to the brim thy cup of happiness | G |
| Whilst her unclouded sun | L |
| Illumes thy summer day | J |
| - | |
| Canst thou rejoice rejoice that Time flies fast | M |
| That Night shall shadow soon thy summer sun | L |
| That swift the stream of Years | G |
| Rolls to Eternity | A |
| - | |
| If thou hast wealth to gratify each wish | N |
| If Power be thine remember what thou art | O |
| Remember thou art Man | P |
| And Death thine heritage | Q |
| - | |
| Hast thou known Love does Beauty's better sun | L |
| Cheer thy fond heart with no capricious smile | R |
| Her eye all eloquence | G |
| Her voice all harmony | A |
| - | |
| Oh state of happiness hark how the gale | S |
| Moans deep and hollow o'er the leafless grove | T |
| Winter is dark and cold | U |
| Where now the charms of Spring | V |
| - | |
| Sayst thou that Fancy paints the future scene | W |
| In hues too sombrous that the dark stol'd Maid | X |
| With stern and frowning front | Y |
| Appals the shuddering soul | Z |
| - | |
| And would'st thou bid me court her faery form | A2 |
| When as she sports her in some happier mood | B2 |
| Her many colour'd robes | G |
| Dance varying to the Sun | L |
| - | |
| Ah vainly does the Pilgrim whose long road | C2 |
| Leads o'er the barren mountain's storm vext height | D2 |
| With anxious gaze survey | J |
| The fruitful far off vale | S |
| - | |
| Oh there are those who love the pensive song | F |
| To whom all sounds of Mirth are dissonant | Y |
| There are who at this hour | H |
| Will love to contemplate | E2 |
| - | |
| For hopeless Sorrow hails the lapse of Time | E |
| Rejoicing when the fading orb of day | J |
| Is sunk again in night | D2 |
| That one day more is gone | F2 |
| - | |
| And he who bears Affliction's heavy load | C2 |
| With patient piety well pleas'd he knows | G |
| The World a pilgrimage | Q |
| The Grave the inn of rest | G2 |
