Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDD EEFGHHFF FFFFIIJJ KKLLMMNN| Tranquillity thou better name | A |
| Than all the family of Fame | A |
| Thou ne'er wilt leave my riper age | B |
| To low intrigue or factious rage | B |
| For oh dear child of thoughtful Truth | C |
| To thee I gave my early youth | C |
| And left the bark and blest the steadfast shore | D |
| Ere yet the tempest rose and scared me with its roar | D |
| - | |
| Who late and lingering seeks thy shrine | E |
| On him but seldom Power divine | E |
| Thy spirit rests Satiety | F |
| And Sloth poor counterfeits of thee | G |
| Mock the tired worldling Idle hope | H |
| And dire remembrance interlope | H |
| To vex the feverish slumbers of the mind | F |
| The bubble floats before the spectre stalks behind | F |
| - | |
| But me thy gentle hand will lead | F |
| At morning through the accustomed mead | F |
| And in the sultry summer's heat | F |
| Will build me up a mossy seat | F |
| And when the gust of Autumn crowds | I |
| And breaks the busy moonlight clouds | I |
| Thou best the thought canst raise the heart attune | J |
| Light as the busy clouds calm as the gliding moon | J |
| - | |
| The feeling heart the searching soul | K |
| To thee I dedicate the whole | K |
| And while within myself I trace | L |
| The greatness of some future race | L |
| Aloof with hermit eye I scan | M |
| The present works of present man | M |
| A wild and dream like trade of blood and guile | N |
| Too foolish for a tear too wicked for a smile | N |
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
