How blithely pass'd the summer's day	A
How bright was every flower	B
While friends arrived in circles gay	A
To visit Damon's bower	B
	-
But now with silent step I range	C
Along some lonely shore	D
And Damon's bower alas the change	C
Is gay with friends no more	D
	-
Away to crowds and cities borne	E
In quest of joy they steer	F
Whilst I alas am left forlorn	E
To weep the parting year	F
	-
O pensive autumn how I grieve	G
Thy sorrowing face to see	H
When languid suns are taking leave	G
Of every drooping tree	H
	-
Ah let me not with heavy eye	I
This dying scene survey	A
Haste Winter Haste usurp the sky	I
Complete my bower's decay	A
	-
Ill can I bear the motley cast	J
Yon sickening leaves retain	K
That speak at once of pleasure past	J
And bode approaching pain	K
	-
At home unblest I gaze around	L
My distant scenes require	B
Where all in murky vapours drown'd	L
Are hamlet hill and spire	M
	-
Though Thomson sweet descriptive bard	N
Inspiring Autumn sung	O
Yet how should we the months regard	N
That stopt his flowing tongue	O
	-
Ah luckless months of all the rest	P
To whose hard share it fell	Q
For sure his was the gentlest breast	P
That ever sung so well	Q
	-
And see the swallows now disown	R
The roofs they loved before	D
Each like his tuneful genius flown	R
To glad some happier shore	D
	-
The wood nymph eyes with pale affright	P
The sportsman's frantic deed	P
While hounds and horns and yells unite	P
To drown the Muse's reed	P
	-
Ye fields with blighted herbage brown	S
Ye skies no longer blue	T
Too much we feel from Fortune's frown	S
To bear these frowns from you	T
	-
Where is the mead's unsullied green	U
The zephyr's balmy gale	V
And where sweet friendship's cordial mien	U
That brighten'd every vale	V
	-
What though the vine disclose her dyes	W
And boast her purple store	D
Not all the vineyard's rich supplies	W
Can soothe our sorrows more	D
	-
He he is gone whose moral strain	K
Could wit and mirth refine	X
He he is gone whose social vein	K
Surpass'd the power of wine	X
	-
Fast by the streams he deign'd to praise	Y
In yon sequester'd grove	Z
To him a votive urn I raise	Y
To him and friendly Love	A2
	-
Yes there my friend forlorn and sad	P
I grave your Thomson's name	B2
And there his lyre which Fate forbade	P
To sound your growing fame	B2
	-
There shall my plaintive song recount	P
Dark themes of hopeless woe	C2
And faster than the drooping fount	P
I'll teach mine eyes to flow	C2
	-
There leaves in spite of Autumn green	U
Shall shade the hallow'd ground	P
And Spring will there again be seen	U
To call forth flowers around	P
	-
But no kind suns will bid me share	D2
Once more his social hour	B
Ah Spring thou never canst repair	D2
This loss to Damon's bower	B
