Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEDE FGFH IJIJ| When now cold winter's snows are fled | A |
| And birds sing blithe again | B |
| Look where the gipsy's tent is spread | A |
| In the green village lane | C |
| - | |
| Oft by the old park pales beneath | D |
| The branches of the oak | E |
| The watchdog barks when in slow wreath | D |
| Curls o'er the woods the smoke | E |
| - | |
| No home receives the wandering race | F |
| The panniered ass is nigh | G |
| Which patient bears from place to place | F |
| Their infant progeny | H |
| - | |
| Lo houseless o'er the world they stray | I |
| But I at home will dwell | J |
| Where I may read my book and pray | I |
| And hear the Sabbath bell | J |
