Rhyme Scheme: ABACDD EFEGGG HIHJKK LMLMNN OPOPPP QPQPRR PSPSTT PUPUVW XPXPYYPP| TELL me ye Zephyrs that unfold | A |
| While fluttering o'er this gay Recess | B |
| Pinions that fanned the teeming mould | A |
| Of Eden's blissful wilderness | C |
| Did only softly stealing hours | D |
| There close the peaceful lives of flowers | D |
| - | |
| Say when the 'moving' creatures saw | E |
| All kinds commingled without fear | F |
| Prevailed a like indulgent law | E |
| For the still growths that prosper here | G |
| Did wanton fawn and kid forbear | G |
| The half blown rose the lily spare | G |
| - | |
| Or peeped they often from their beds | H |
| And prematurely disappeared | I |
| Devoured like pleasure ere it spreads | H |
| A bosom to the sun endeared | J |
| If such their harsh untimely doom | K |
| It falls not 'here' on bud or bloom | K |
| - | |
| All summer long the happy Eve | L |
| Of this fair Spot her flowers may bind | M |
| Nor e'er with ruffled fancy grieve | L |
| From the next glance she casts to find | M |
| That love for little things by Fate | N |
| Is rendered vain as love for great | N |
| - | |
| Yet where the guardian fence is wound | O |
| So subtly are our eyes beguiled | P |
| We see not nor suspect a bound | O |
| No more than in some forest wild | P |
| The sight is free as air or crost | P |
| Only by art in nature lost | P |
| - | |
| And though the jealous turf refuse | Q |
| By random footsteps to be prest | P |
| And feed on never sullied dews | Q |
| 'Ye' gentle breezes from the west | P |
| With all the ministers of hope | R |
| Are tempted to this sunny slope | R |
| - | |
| And hither throngs of birds resort | P |
| Some inmates lodged in shady nests | S |
| Some perched on stems of stately port | P |
| That nod to welcome transient guests | S |
| While hare and leveret seen at play | T |
| 'Appear' not more shut out than they | T |
| - | |
| Apt emblem for reproof of pride | P |
| This delicate Enclosure shows | U |
| Of modest kindness that would hide | P |
| The firm protection she bestows | U |
| Of manners like its viewless fence | V |
| Ensuring peace to innocence | W |
| - | |
| Thus spake the moral Muse her wing | X |
| Abruptly spreading to depart | P |
| She left that farewell offering | X |
| Momento for some docile heart | P |
| That may respect the good old age | Y |
| When Fancy was Truth's willing Page | Y |
| And Truth would skim the flowery glade | P |
| Though entering but as Fancy's Shade | P |
