Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDBDBEFEFGG| Sweet wreck of loveliness alas how soon | A |
| The sad brief summer of thy joys hath fled | B |
| How sorrows Friendship for thy hapless doom | C |
| Thy beauty faded and thy hopes all dead | B |
| Oh 'twas that beauty's power which first destroy'd | D |
| Thy mind's serenity its charms but led | B |
| The faithless friend that thy pure love enjoy'd | D |
| To tear the beauteous blossom from its bed | B |
| How reason shudders at thy frenzied air | E |
| To see thee smile with fancy's dreams possess'd | F |
| Or shrink the frozen image of despair | E |
| Or love enraptured chant thy griefs to rest | F |
| Oh cease that mournful voice affliction's child | G |
| My heart but bleeds to hear thy musings wild | G |
