Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFEF EGEG DHDI JKJK LMCN O| Farewell loved youth for still I hold thee dear | A |
| Though thou hast left me friendless and alone | B |
| Still still thy name recals the heartfelt tear | C |
| That hastes MATILDA to her wish'd for home | D |
| - | |
| Why leave the wretch thy perfidy hath made | E |
| To journey cheerless through the world's wide waste | F |
| Say why so soon does all thy kindness fade | E |
| And doom me thus affliction's cup to taste | F |
| - | |
| Ungen'rous deed to fly the faithful maid | E |
| Who for thy arms abandon'd every friend | G |
| Oh cruel thought that virtue thus betray'd | E |
| Should feel a pang that death alone can end | G |
| - | |
| Yet I'll not chide thee And when hence you roam | D |
| Should my sad fate one tear of pity move | H |
| Ah then return this bosom's still thy home | D |
| And all thy failings I'll repay with love | I |
| - | |
| Believe me dear at midnight or at morn | J |
| In vain exhausted nature strives to rest | K |
| Thy absence plants my pillow with a thorn | J |
| And bids me hope no more on earth for rest | K |
| - | |
| But if unkindly you refuse to hear | L |
| And from despair thy poor MATILDA have | M |
| Ah don't deny one tributary tear | C |
| To glisten sweetly o'er my early grave | N |

| MATILDA | O |
