Rhyme Scheme: AA BCC BDDAAEEFFGG HHIIJKKJJ CCDBBBBDB| That happy gleam of vernal eyes | A |
| Those locks from summer's golden skies | A |
| - | |
| That o'er thy brow are shed | B |
| That cheek a kindling of the morn | C |
| That lip a rose bud from the thorn | C |
| - | |
| I saw and Fancy sped | B |
| To scenes Arcadian whispering through soft air | D |
| Of bliss that grows without a care | D |
| And happiness that never flies | A |
| How can it where love never dies | A |
| Whispering of promise where no blight | E |
| Can reach the innocent delight | E |
| Where pity to the mind conveyed | F |
| In pleasure is the darkest shade | F |
| That Time unwrinkled grandsire flings | G |
| From his smoothly gliding wings | G |
| - | |
| What mortal form what earthly face | H |
| Inspired the pencil lines to trace | H |
| And mingle colours that should breed | I |
| Such rapture nor want power to feed | I |
| For had thy charge been idle flowers | J |
| Fair Damsel o'er my captive mind | K |
| To truth and sober reason blind | K |
| 'Mid that soft air those long lost bowers | J |
| The sweet illusion might have hung for hours | J |
| - | |
| Thanks to this tell tale sheaf of corn | C |
| That touchingly bespeaks thee born | C |
| Life's daily tasks with them to share | D |
| Who whether from their lowly bed | B |
| They rise or rest the weary head | B |
| Ponder the blessing they entreat | B |
| From Heaven and 'feel' what they repeat | B |
| While they give utterance to the prayer | D |
| That asks for daily bread | B |
