Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEDFGFGHH| Bless'd be the hour that gave my LYDIA birth | A |
| The day be sacred 'mid each varying year | B |
| How oft the name recals thy spotless worth | A |
| And joys departed still to memory dear | B |
| If matchless friendship constancy and love | C |
| Have power to charm or one sad grief beguile | D |
| 'Tis thine the gloom of sorrow to remove | E |
| And on the tearful cheek imprint a smile | D |
| May every after season to thee bring | F |
| New joys to cheer life's dark eventful way | G |
| Till time shall close thee in his pond'rous wing | F |
| And angels waft thee to eternal day | G |
| Loved friend farewell thy name this heart shall fill | H |
| Till memory sinks and all its griefs are still | H |
