Rhyme Scheme: ABABCBCB AAAAABAB| Flow on thou shining river | A |
| But ere thou reach the sea | B |
| Seek Ella's bower and give her | A |
| The wreaths I fling o'er thee | B |
| And tell her thus if she'll be mine | C |
| The current of our lives shall be | B |
| With joys along their course to shine | C |
| Like those sweet flowers on thee | B |

| But if in wandering thither | A |
| Thou find'st she mocks my prayer | A |

| Upon the cold bank there | A |
| And tell her thus when youth is o'er | A |
| Her lone and loveless Charms shall be | B |
| Thrown by upon life's weedy shore | A |
| Like those sweet flowers from thee | B |
