Rhyme Scheme: AABBCC DDEFGGHHIIJKLLWhen first the infant bird attempts to fly | A |
And cautious spreads its pinions to the sky | A |
Each happy breeze the timid trav'ller cheers | B |
Assists its efforts and allays its fears | B |
Return'd how pleas'd it views the shelt'ring nest | C |
From which it rose with doubt and fear oppress'd | C |
- | |
Like this is ours this night we ventur'd out | D |
On juv'nile wing appall'd by many a doubt | D |
Cheer'd by your sanction every peril o'er | E |
With joy we hail this welcome friendly shore | F |
Our little band ambitious now to raise | G |
A pleasing off'ring for your wreath of praise | G |
On them bestow'd depute me here to tell | H |
The lively feelings that their bosoms swell | H |
For your indulgent and parental part | I |
They feel the triumph of a grateful heart | I |
That each revolving year shall truly prove | J |
How much they honor how sincere they love | K |
And for your fostering care will make return | L |
By filial duty and desire to learn | L |
