Rhyme Scheme: AABCDEFFGGHHIIJJKKLL MMNNOO| Stranger mark this lovely scene | A |
| When the evening sets serene | A |
| And starting o'er the silent wood | B |
| The last pale sunshine streaks the flood | C |
| And the water gushing near | D |
| Soothes with ceaseless drip thine ear | E |
| Then bid each passion sink to rest | F |
| Should ev'n one wish rise in thy breast | F |
| One tender wish as now in mine | G |
| That some such quiet spot were thine | G |
| And thou recalling seasons fled | H |
| Couldst wake the slumbers of the dead | H |
| And bring back her you loved to share | I |
| With thee calm peace and comfort there | I |
| Oh check the thought but inly pray | J |
| To HE who gives and takes away | J |
| That many years this fair domain | K |
| Its varied beauties may retain | K |
| So when some wanderer who has lost | L |
| His heart's best treasure who has crossed | L |
| In life bleak hills and passes rude | M |
| Should gain this lovely solitude | M |
| Delighted he may pause a while | N |
| And when he marks the landscape smile | N |
| Leave with its willows ere he part | O |
| The blessings of a softened heart | O |
