Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEFGGHHII JJKKDDLM| Thou 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 |
