She came she is gone we have met	A
And meet perhaps never again	B
The sun of that moment is set	A
And seems to have risen in vain	C
Catharina has fled like a dream	D
So vanishes pleasure alas	E
But has left a regret and esteem	D
That will not so suddenly pass	E
	-
	-
The last evening ramble we made	F
Catharina Maria and I	G
Our progress was often delay'd	F
By the nightingale warbling nigh	G
We paused under many a tree	H
And much she was charm'd with a tone	I
Less sweet to Maria and me	H
Who so lately had witness'd her own	I
	-
	-
My numbers that day she had sung	J
And gave them a grace so divine	K
As only her musical tongue	J
Could infuse into numbers of mine	K
The longer I heard I esteem'd	L
The work of my fancy the more	M
And e'en to myself never seem'd	L
So tuneful a poet before	M
	-
	-
Though the pleasures of London exceed	N
In number the days of the year	O
Catharina did nothing impede	N
Would feel herself happier here	P
For the close woven arches of limes	Q
On the banks of our river I know	R
Are sweeter to her many times	Q
Than aught that the city can show	R
	-
	-
So it is when the mind is endued	S
With a well judging taste from above	T
Then whether embellish'd or rude	S
'Tis nature alone that we love	T
The achievements of art may amuse	U
May even our wonder excite	V
But groves hills and valleys diffuse	W
A lasting a sacred delight	V
	-
	-
Since then in the rural recess	X
Catharina alone can rejoice	Y
May it still be her lot to possess	X
The scene of her sensible choice	Y
To inhabit a mansion remote	Z
From the clatter of street pacing steeds	A2
And by Philomel's annual note	Z
To measure the life that she leads	A2
	-
	-
With her book and her voice and her lyre	B2
To wing all her moments at home	C2
And with scenes that new rapture inspire	B2
As oft as it suits her to roam	C2
She will have just the life she prefers	D2
With little to hope or to fear	O
And ours would be pleasant as hers	D2
Might we view her enjoying it here	P
