| THE MORNING OF HER BIRTHDAY | B |

| In witching slumbers of the night | C |
| I dreamt I was the airy sprite | C |
| That on thy natal moment smiled | D |
| And thought I wafted on my wing | E |
| Those flowers which in Elysium spring | E |
| To crown my lovely mortal child | D |
| - | |
| With olive branch I bound thy head | F |
| Heart's ease along thy path I shed | F |
| Which was to bloom through all thy years | G |
| Nor yet did I forget to bind | H |
| Love's roses with his myrtle twined | H |
| And dewed by sympathetic tears | I |
| - | |
| Such was the wild but precious boon | J |
| Which Fancy at her magic noon | J |
| Bade me to Nona's image pay | B |
| And were it thus my fate to be | K |
| Thy little guardian deity | K |
| How blest around thy steps I'd play | B |
| - | |
| Thy life should glide in peace along | L |
| Calm as some lonely shepherd's song | L |
| That's heard at distance in the grove | M |
| No cloud should ever dim thy sky | N |
| No thorns along thy pathway lie | N |
| But all be beauty peace and love | O |
| - | |
| Indulgent Time should never bring | E |
| To thee one blight upon his wing | E |
| So gently o'er thy brow he'd fly | N |
| And death itself should but be felt | P |
| Like that of daybeams when they melt | P |
| Bright to the last in evening's sky | N |
