| That come but as a curse to party strife | A |
| Not in some hour when Pleasure with a sigh | B |
| Of languor puts his rosy garland by | B |
| Not in the breathing times of that poor slave | C |
| Who daily piles up wealth in Mammon's cave | C |
| Is Nature felt or can be nor do words | D |
| Which practiced talent readily affords | E |
| Prove that her hand has touched responsive chords | E |
| Nor has her gentle beauty power to move | F |
| With genuine rapture and with fervent love | G |
| The soul of Genius if he dare to take | H |
| Life's rule from passion craved for passion's sake | H |
| Untaught that meekness is the cherished bent | I |
| Of all the truly great and all the innocent | J |

| But who is innocent By grace divine | K |
| Not otherwise O Nature we are thine | K |
| Through good and evil thine in just degree | L |
| Of rational and manly sympathy | L |
| To all that Earth from pensive hearts is stealing | M |
| And Heaven is now to gladdened eyes revealing | M |
| Add every charm the Universe can show | N |
| Through every change its aspects undergo | N |
| Care may be respited but not repealed | O |
| No perfect cure grows on that bounded field | O |
| Vain is the pleasure a false calm the peace | P |
| If He through whom alone our conflicts cease | P |
| Our virtuous hopes without relapse advance | Q |
| Come not to speed the Soul's deliverance | R |
| To the distempered Intellect refuse | S |
| His gracious help or give what we abuse | T |
