| Thine eyes shall see the light of distant skies | B |
| Yet COLE thy heart shall bear to Europe's strand | C |
| A living image of thy native land | C |
| Such as on thine own glorious canvas lies | B |
| Lone lakes savannas where the bison roves | B |
| Rocks rich with summer garlands solemn streams | B |
| Skies where the desert eagle wheels and screams | B |
| Spring bloom and autumn blaze of boundless groves | B |
| Fair scenes shall greet thee where thou goest fair | D |
| But different everywhere the trace of men | E |
| Paths homes graves ruins from the lowest glen | E |
| To where life shrinks from the fierce Alpine air | D |
| Gaze on them till the tears shall dim thy sight | F |
| But keep that earlier wilder image bright | F |
