Rhyme Scheme: AABCDBEFGEHHIIJJKLAA ABBMMNO| Oh thou that prattling on thy pebbled way | A |
| Through my paternal vale dost stray | A |
| Working thy shallow passage to the sea | B |
| Oh stream thou speedest on | C |
| The same as many seasons gone | D |
| But not alas to me | B |
| Remain the feelings that beguiled | E |
| My early road when careless and content | F |
| Losing the hours in pastimes innocent | G |
| Upon thy banks I strayed a playful child | E |
| Whether the pebbles that thy margin strew | H |
| Collecting heedlessly I threw | H |
| Or loved in thy translucent wave | I |
| My tender shrinking feet to lave | I |
| Or else ensnared your little fry | J |
| And thought how wondrous skilled was I | J |
| So passed my boyish days unknown to pain | K |
| Days that will ne'er return again | L |
| It seems but yesterday | A |
| I was a child to morrow to be gray | A |
| So years succeeding years steal silently away | A |
| Not fleeter thy own current hurrying thee | B |
| Rolls down to the great sea | B |
| Thither oh carry these sad thoughts the deep | M |
| Bury them thou meantime thy tenor keep | M |
| And winding through the green wood cheer | N |
| As erst my native peaceful pastures here | O |
