Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDEEFFGGHHIIJK| Ye vales and hills whose beauty hither drew | A |
| The poet's steps and fixed him here on you | A |
| His eyes have closed And ye loved books no more | B |
| Shall Southey feed upon your precious lore | B |
| To works that ne'er shall forfeit their renown | C |
| Adding immortal labours of his own | D |
| Whether he traced historic truth with zeal | E |
| For the State's guidance or the Church's weal | E |
| Or Fancy disciplined by studious art | F |
| Informed his pen or wisdom of the heart | F |
| Or judgments sanctioned in the Patriot's mind | G |
| By reverence for the rights of all mankind | G |
| Wide were his aims yet in no human breast | H |
| Could private feelings meet for holier rest | H |
| His joys his griefs have vanished like a cloud | I |
| From Skiddaw's top but he to heaven was vowed | I |
| Through his industrious life and Christian faith | J |
| Calmed in his soul the fear of change and death | K |
