Rhyme Scheme: ABCAABBA DEFDEF| Man's works grow stale to man the years destroy | A |
| The charm they once possessed the city tires | B |
| The terraces the domes the dazzling spires | C |
| Are in the main but an attractive toy | A |
| They please the man not as they pleased the boy | A |
| And he returns to Nature and requires | B |
| To warm his soul at her old altar fires | B |
| To drink from her perpetual fount of joy | A |

| It is that man and all the works of man | D |
| Prepare to pass away he may depend | E |
| On naught but what he found her stores among | F |
| But she she changes not nor ever can | D |
| He knows she will be faithful to the end | E |
| For ever beautiful for ever young | F |
