Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEFE GHGH AAAA| O'er desert plains and rushy meres | A |
| And wither'd heaths I rove | B |
| Where tree nor spire nor cot appears | A |
| I pass to meet my love | C |
| - | |
| But though my path were damask'd o'er | D |
| With beauties e'er so fine | E |
| My busy thoughts would fly before | F |
| To fix alone on thine | E |
| - | |
| No fir crown'd hills could give delight | G |
| No palace please mine eye | H |
| No pyramid's aerial height | G |
| Where mould'ring monarchs lie | H |
| - | |
| Unmoved should Eastern kings advance | A |
| Could I the pageant see | A |
| Splendour might catch one scornful glance | A |
| Nor steal one thought from thee | A |
