Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEFGGHHII JJKKDDLMThou art indeed a lovely flower | A |
And I just like the fleeting hour | A |
Which few will heed on folly's brink | B |
So rarely deigns the world to think | B |
Yet ere I go child of my heart | C |
One faithful offering I'll impart | C |
To thee thy parents' sole delight | D |
To me an angel pure as light | D |
Sent on this earth to cheer and bless | E |
Like sunbeam in a wilderness | F |
With fascination's form and face | G |
And all the charms that please and grace | G |
A guileless heart a lovely mind | H |
A temper ardent yet refined | H |
And in the early dawn of youth | I |
Taught to love honour faith and truth | I |
- | |
Ah these when all the transient joys | J |
Of idle life when all its toys | J |
Shall fade like mist before the sun | K |
Yet ere thy little day is done | K |
Shall give that calm that true delight | D |
Which gilds the darkling hues of night | D |
The sunset of a well spent day | L |
A glorious immortality | M |
