Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EDEDFGFG DHDHBGBG IGIJKDLD MBMBNONO| Fairest put on a while | A |
| These pinions of light I bring thee | B |
| And o'er thy own green isle | A |
| In fancy let me wing thee | B |
| Never did Ariel's plume | C |
| At golden sunset hover | D |
| O'er scenes so full of bloom | C |
| As I shall waft thee over | D |
| - | |
| Fields where the Spring delays | E |
| And fearlessly meets the ardour | D |
| Of the warm Summer's gaze | E |
| With only her tears to guard her | D |
| Rocks through myrtle boughs | F |
| In grace majestic frowning | G |
| Like some bold warrior's brows | F |
| That Love hath just been crowning | G |
| - | |
| Islets so freshly fair | D |
| That never hath bird come nigh them | H |
| But from his course through air | D |
| He hath been won down by them | H |
| Types sweet maid of thee | B |
| Whose look whose blush inviting | G |
| Never did Love yet see | B |
| From heaven without alighting | G |
| - | |
| Lakes where the pearl lies hid | I |
| And caves where the gem is sleeping | G |
| Bright as the tears thy lid | I |
| Lets fall in lonely weepin | J |
| Glens where Ocean comes | K |
| To 'scape the wild wind's rancour | D |
| And harbours worthiest homes | L |
| Where Freedom's fleet can anchor | D |
| - | |
| Then if while scenes so grand | M |
| So beautiful shine before thee | B |
| Pride for thy own dear land | M |
| Should haply be stealing o'er thee | B |
| Oh let grief come first | N |
| O'er pride itself victorious | O |
| Thinking how man hath curst | N |
| What Heaven hath made so glorious | O |
