Rhyme Scheme: ABCDDE DFGHIJD CGGKLD| O thou who passest thro' our valleys in | A |
| Thy strength curb thy fierce steeds allay the heat | B |
| That flames from their large nostrils thou O Summer | C |
| Oft pitched'st here thy goldent tent and oft | D |
| Beneath our oaks hast slept while we beheld | D |
| With joy thy ruddy limbs and flourishing hair | E |
| - | |
| Beneath our thickest shades we oft have heard | D |
| Thy voice when noon upon his fervid car | F |
| Rode o'er the deep of heaven beside our springs | G |
| Sit down and in our mossy valleys on | H |
| Some bank beside a river clear throw thy | I |
| Silk draperies off and rush into the stream | J |
| Our valleys love the Summer in his pride | D |
| - | |
| Our bards are fam'd who strike the silver wire | C |
| Our youth are bolder than the southern swains | G |
| Our maidens fairer in the sprightly dance | G |
| We lack not songs nor instruments of joy | K |
| Nor echoes sweet nor waters clear as heaven | L |
| Nor laurel wreaths against the sultry heat | D |
