| Oh thou of all creation blest | B |
| Sweet insect that delight'st to rest | B |
| Upon the wild wood's leafy tops | C |
| To drink the dew that morning drops | C |
| And chirp thy song with such a glee | D |
| That happiest kings may envy thee | D |
| Whatever decks the velvet field | E |
| Whate'er the circling seasons yield | E |
| Whatever buds whatever blows | F |
| For thee it buds for thee it grows | F |
| Nor yet art thou the peasant's fear | G |
| To him thy friendly notes are dear | G |
| For thou art mild as matin dew | H |
| And still when summer's flowery hue | H |
| Begins to paint the bloomy plain | I |
| We hear thy sweet prophetic strain | I |
| Thy sweet prophetic strain we hear | J |
| And bless the notes and thee revere | G |
| The Muses love thy shrilly tone | K |
| Apollo calls thee all his own | K |
| 'Twas he who gave that voice to thee | D |
| 'Tis he who tunes thy minstrelsy | F |

| Unworn by age's dim decline | L |
| The fadeless blooms of youth are thine | L |
| Melodious insect child of earth | M |
| In wisdom mirthful wise in mirth | M |
| Exempt from every weak decay | N |
| That withers vulgar frames away | N |
| With not a drop of blood to stain | I |
| The current of thy purer vein | I |
| So blest an age is past by thee | D |
| Thou seem'st a little deity | D |
