Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDEF GHEI JKLM NONO PCPE QRQR| My days have been so wondrous free | A |
| The little birds that fly | B |
| With careless ease from tree to tree | A |
| Were but as bless'd as I | B |
| - | |
| Ask gliding waters if a tear | C |
| Of mine increas'd their stream | D |
| Or ask the flying gales if e'er | E |
| I lent one sigh to them | F |
| - | |
| But now my former days retire | G |
| And I'm by beauty caught | H |
| The tender chains of sweet desire | E |
| Are fix'd upon my thought | I |

| Ye nightingales ye twisting pines | J |
| Ye swains that haunt the grove | K |
| Ye gentle echoes breezy winds | L |
| Ye close retreats of love | M |
| - | |
| With all of nature all of art | N |
| Assist the dear design | O |
| Oh teach a young unpractic'd heart | N |
| To make my Nancy mine | O |
| - | |
| The very thought of change I hate | P |
| As much as of despair | C |
| Nor ever covet to be great | P |
| Unless it be for her | E |
| - | |
| 'Tis true the passion in my mind | Q |
| Is mix'd with soft distress | R |
| Yet while the fair I love is kind | Q |
| I cannot wish it less | R |
