| The prospect from its height will well reward | B |
| The toil of climbing thence we shall command | C |
| The various beauties of the landscape round | D |
| Now we have reached the top O what a scene | E |
| Opens upon the sight and swallows up | F |
| The admiring soul She feels as if from earth | G |
| Uplifted into heaven Scarce can she yet | H |
| Collect herself and exercise her powers | I |
| While o'er heaven's lofty wide extended arch | J |
| And round the vast horizon the bold eye | K |
| Shoots forth her view with what sublime delight | L |
| The bosom swells See where the God of day | M |
| Who through the cloudless ether long has rid | N |
| On his bright fiery car amidst a blaze | O |
| Of dazzling glory and in wrath shot round | D |
| His burning arrows with tyrannic power | P |
| Oppressing Nature now his daily course | Q |
| Well nigh completed toward the western goal | R |
| Declines and with less awful majesty | S |
| Concludes his reign his flamy chariot hid | N |
| In floods of golden light that dazzles still | A |
| Though less intense O how these scenes exalt | T |
| The throbbing heart Louisa canst thou bear | U |
| These strong emotions do they not o'erpower | U |
| Thy tender nerves I fear my Love they do | V |
| Those eyes that late with transport beam'd so bright | L |
| Now veil their rays with the soft dewy shade | W |
| Of tenderness Let us repose awhile | X |
| The roots of yonder tree cover'd with moss | Y |
| Present a pleasing seat there let us sit | Z |
| Hark Zephyr wakes and sweetly whispering tells | A2 |
| The approach of Eve already Nature feels | B2 |
| Her soothing influence her refreshing breath | C2 |
| The fields the trees imbibe the cool moist air | U |
| Their feverish thirst allay and smile revived | D2 |
| The Soul too feels her influence sweetly soothed | E2 |
| Into a tender calm O let us now | F2 |
| My loved Louisa let us now enjoy | G2 |
| The landscape's charms and all the nameless sweets | H2 |
| Of this our favourite hour for ever dear | U |
| To Fancy and to Love Cast round thy sight | L |
| Upon the altered scene nor longer fear | U |
| The dazzling sun his latest lingering beams | I2 |
| Where are they can'st thou find them see they gild | J2 |
| The glittering top of yonder village spire | U |
| Upon that distant hill they faintly shine | K2 |
| And look the topmost boughs of this tall oak | L2 |
| Majestic which o'ercanopies our heads | M2 |
| Yet catch their tremulous glimmerings now they fade | W |
| Fade and expire and as they fade the Moon | N2 |
| The full orb'd Moon that seem'd erewhile to melt | O2 |
| In the bright azure from the darkening sky | K |
| Emerging slow and silent sheds around | D |
| Her snowy light that with the day's last dim | P2 |
| Reflection from the broad translucid lake | Q2 |
| Insensibly commingles and unites | R2 |
| In sweetest harmony o'er all the scene | E |
| Diffusing magic tints enchanting power | U |
| How lovely every object now appears | S2 |
| Each in itself and how they all combine | K2 |
| In one delightful whole What eye what heart | T2 |
| O Nature can resist thy potent charms | U2 |
| When thus in soft transparent shade half veil'd | V2 |
| Now Beauty and Sublimity methinks | U2 |
| Upon the lap of Eve embracing sleep | W2 |
| Mark the tree tops my Love of yonder wood | X2 |
| Whose moonlight foliage fluctuates in the breeze | U2 |
| Say do they not in figure motion hue | V |
| Resemble the sea waves at misty dawn | Y2 |
| What shadowy shape along the troubled lake | Q2 |
| Comes this way moving how mysteriously | S |
| It glides along how indistinct its form | Z2 |
| Imagination views with sweet surprise | U2 |
| The unknown appearance breathless in suspense | U2 |
| The Spirit of the waters can it be | S |
| On his aerial car some fairy Power | U |
| Pants not thy heart Louisa half alarm'd | A3 |
| It grows upon the sight strange watery sounds | U2 |
| Attend its course hark was not that a voice | U2 |
| O 'tis a fishing boat its sails and oars | U2 |
| I now discern The church clock strikes how loud | B3 |
| Burst forth its sound into the startled air | U |
| That feels it still and trembles far around | D |
| My dearest Love it summons us away | M |
| The dew begins to fall let us depart | T2 |
| How sweetly have we spent this evening hour | U |
