| As down life's morning stream we glide | B |
| Full oft some Flower stoops o'er its side | B |
| And beckons to the smiling shore | C |
| Where roses strew the landscape o'er | D |
| Yet as we reach that Flower to clasp | E |
| It seems to mock the cheated grasp | E |
| And whisper soft with siren glee | F |
| My bloom is not oh not for thee | F |

| Within Youth's flowery vale I tread | G |
| By some entrancing shadow led | G |
| And Echo to my call replies | H |
| Yet as she answers lo she flies | H |
| And as I seem to reach her cell | I |
| The grotto where she weaves her spell | I |
| The Nymph's sweet voice afar I hear | J |
| So Love departs as we draw near | K |

| Upon a mountain's dizzy height | L |
| Ambition's temple gleams with light | L |
| Proud forms are moving fair within | M |
| And bid us strive that light to win | M |
| O'er giddy cliff and crag we strain | N |
| And reach the mountain top in vain | N |
| For lo the temple still afar | O |
| Shines cold and distant as a star | O |

| I hear a voice whose accents dear | K |
| Melt like soft music in mine ear | J |
| A gentle hand that seems divine | Q |
| Is warmly fondly clasped in mine | Q |
| And lips upon my cheeks are pressed | R |
| That whisper tones from regions blest | R |
| But soon I start for friendship's kiss | S |
| Is gone and lo a serpent's hiss | S |
| - | |
| V | P |
| - | |
| The sun goes down and shadows rest | R |
| On the gay scenes by morning blest | R |
| The gathering clouds invest the air | T |
| Yet one bright constant Star is there | T |
| Onward we press with heavy load | U |
| O'er tangled path and rough'ning road | U |
| For still that Star shines bright before | C |
| But now it sinks and all is o'er | D |
