Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDABAB EFEFGHGHABAB IJIJKLKMABAB| Drink to her who long | A |
| Hath waked the poet's sigh | B |
| The girl who gave to song | A |
| What gold could never buy | B |
| Oh woman's heart was made | C |
| For minstrel hands alone | D |
| By other fingers play'd | C |
| It yields not half the tone | D |
| Then here's to her who long | A |
| Hath waked the poet's sigh | B |
| The girl who gave to song | A |
| What gold could never buy | B |

| At Beauty's door of glass | E |
| When Wealth and Wit once stood | F |
| They ask'd her which might pass | E |
| She answer'd he who could | F |
| With golden key Wealth thought | G |
| To pass but 'twould not do | H |
| While Wit a diamond brought | G |
| Which cut his bright way through | H |
| So here's to her who long | A |
| Hath waked the poet's sigh | B |
| The girl who gave to song | A |
| What gold could never buy | B |
| - | |
| The love that seeks a home | I |
| Where wealth or grandeur shines | J |
| Is like the gloomy gnome | I |
| That dwells in dark mines | J |
| But oh the poet's love | K |
| Can boast a brighter sphere | L |
| Its native home's above | K |
| Though woman keeps it here | M |
| Then drink to her who long | A |
| Hath waked the poet's sigh | B |
| The girl who gave to song | A |
| What gold could never buy | B |
