Rhyme Scheme: ABCC DDEE FFGG HIJJ KKLL| Ye birds for whom I rear'd the grove | A |
| With melting lay salute my love | B |
| My Daphne with your notes detain | C |
| Or I have rear'd my grove in vain | C |
| - | |
| Ye flowers before her footsteps rise | D |
| Display at once your brightest dyes | D |
| That she your opening charms may see | E |
| Or what are all your charms to me | E |
| - | |
| Kind Zephyr brush each fragrant flower | F |
| And shed its odours round my bower | F |
| Or never more O gentle Wind | G |
| Shall I from thee refreshment find | G |
| - | |
| Ye Streams if e'er your banks I loved | H |
| If e'er your native sounds improved | I |
| May each soft murmur soothe my fair | J |
| Or oh 'twill deepen my despair | J |
| - | |
| And thou my Grot whose lonely bounds | K |
| The melancholy pine surrounds | K |
| May Daphne praise thy peaceful gloom | L |
| Or thou shalt prove her Damon's tomb | L |
