| No wither'd witch shall here be seen | G |
| No goblins lead their nightly crew | H |
| The female fays shall haunt the green | G |
| And dress thy grave with pearly dew | H |

| The redbreast oft at ev'ning hours | I |
| Shall kindly lend his little aid | J |
| With hoary moss and gather'd flow'rs | I |
| To deck the ground where thou art laid | J |

| When howling winds and beating rain | K |
| In tempests shake the sylvan cell | L |
| Or midst the chase on ev'ry plain | K |
| The tender thought on thee shall dwell | L |
| - | |
| - | |
| Each lonely scene shall thee restore | M |
| For thee the tear be duly shed | N |
| Belov'd till life could charm no more | M |
| And mourn'd till Pity's self be dead | N |
