Rhyme Scheme: AABCDDEEFFGH EEIIJKEEII| To all that breathe the air of heaven | A |
| Some boon of strength has Nature given | A |
| In forming the majestic bull | B |
| She fenced with wreathed horns his skull | C |
| A hoof of strength she lent the steed | D |
| And winged the timorous hare with speed | D |
| She gave the lion fangs of terror | E |
| And o'er the ocean's crystal mirror | E |
| Taught the unnumbered scaly throng | F |
| To trace their liquid path along | F |
| While for the umbrage of the grove | G |
| She plumed the warbling world of love | H |
| - | |
| To man she gave in that proud hour | E |
| The boon of intellectual power | E |
| Then what oh woman what for thee | I |
| Was left in Nature's treasury | I |
| She gave thee beauty mightier far | J |
| Than all the pomp and power of war | K |
| Nor steel nor fire itself hath power | E |
| Like woman in her conquering hour | E |
| Be thou but fair mankind adore thee | I |
| Smile and a world is weak before thee | I |
