Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH BIBJ| The sportive sylphs that course the air | A |
| Unseen on wings that twilight weaves | B |
| Around the opening rose repair | A |
| And breathe sweet incense o'er its leaves | B |
| - | |
| With sparkling cups of bubbles made | C |
| They catch the ruddy beams of day | D |
| And steal the rainbow's sweetest shade | C |
| Their blushing favorite to array | D |

| They gather gems with sunbeams bright | E |
| From floating clouds and falling showers | F |
| They rob Aurora's locks of light | E |
| To grace their own fair queen of flowers | F |

| Thus thus adorned the speaking Rose | G |
| Becomes a token fit to tell | H |
| Of things that words can ne'er disclose | G |
| And nought but this reveal so well | H |
| - | |
| Then take my flower and let its leaves | B |
| Beside thy heart be cherished near | I |
| While that confiding heart receives | B |
| The thought it whispers to thine ear | J |
