Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEF GHGHIJIKEFEF| When midst the gay I meet | A |
| That gentle smile of thine | B |
| Tho' still on me it turns most sweet | A |
| I scarce can call it mine | B |
| But when to me alone | C |
| Your secret tears you show | D |
| Oh then I feel those tears my own | C |
| And claim them while they flow | D |
| Then still with bright looks bless | E |
| The gay the cold the free | F |
| Give smiles to those who love you less | E |
| But keep your tears for me | F |
| - | |
| The snow on Jura's steep | G |
| Can smile in many a beam | H |
| Yet still in chains of coldness sleep | G |
| How bright soe'er it seem | H |
| But when some deep felt ray | I |
| Whose touch is fire appears | J |
| Oh then the smile is warmed away | I |
| And melting turns to tears | K |
| Then still with bright looks bless | E |
| The gay the cold the free | F |
| Give smiles to those who love you less | E |
| But keep your tears for me | F |
