Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDCCEFFEGHHIIJGKL KGEE MKHHKNONMHPHP| Lyre though such power do in thy magic live | A |
| As might from India's farthest plain | B |
| Recall the not unwilling Maid | C |
| Assist me to detain | B |
| The lovely Fugitive | D |
| Check with thy notes the impulse which betrayed | C |
| By her sweet farewell looks I longed to aid | C |
| Here let me gaze enrapt upon that eye | E |
| The impregnable and awe inspiring fort | F |
| Of contemplation the calm port | F |
| By reason fenced from winds that sigh | E |
| Among the restless sails of vanity | G |
| But if no wish be hers that we should part | H |
| A humbler bliss would satisfy my heart | H |
| Where all things are so fair | I |
| Enough by her dear side to breathe the air | I |
| Of this Elysian weather | J |
| And on or in or near the brook espy | G |
| Shade upon the sunshine lying | K |
| Faint and somewhat pensively | L |
| And downward Image gaily vying | K |
| With its upright living tree | G |
| 'Mid silver clouds and openings of blue sky | E |
| As soft almost and deep as her cerulean eye | E |
| - | |
| Nor less the joy with many a glance | M |
| Cast up the Stream or down at her beseeching | K |
| To mark its eddying foam balls prettily distrest | H |
| By ever changing shape and want of rest | H |
| Or watch with mutual teaching | K |
| The current as it plays | N |
| In flashing leaps and stealthy creeps | O |
| Adown a rocky maze | N |
| Or note translucent summer's happiest chance | M |
| In the slope channel floored with pebbles bright | H |
| Stones of all hues gem emulous of gem | P |
| So vivid that they take from keenest sight | H |
| The liquid veil that seeks not to hide them | P |
