Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGHGH GIGIJGJG| To weave a garland for the rose | A |
| And think thus crown'd 'twould lovelier be | B |
| Were far less vain than to suppose | A |
| That silks and gems add grace to thee | B |
| Where is the pearl whose orient lustre | C |
| Would not beside thee look less bright | D |
| What gold could match the glossy cluster | C |
| Of those young ringlets full of light | D |
| - | |
| Bring from the land where fresh it gleams | E |
| The bright blue gem of India's mine | F |
| And see how soon though bright its beams | E |
| 'Twill pale before one glance of thine | F |
| Those lips too when their sounds have blest us | G |
| With some divine mellifluous air | H |
| Who would not say that Beauty's cestus | G |
| Had let loose all its witcheries there | H |
| - | |
| Here to this conquering host of charms | G |
| I now give up my spell bound heart | I |
| Nor blush to yield even Reason's arms | G |
| When thou her bright eyed conqueror art | I |
| Thus to the wind all fears are given | J |
| Henceforth those eyes alone I see | G |
| Where Hope as in her own blue heaven | J |
| Sits beckoning me to bliss and thee | G |
