Myself will to my darling be | D |

Shall rear her form to stately height | O |
Her virgin bosom swell | P |
Such thoughts to Lucy I will give | Q |
While she and I together live | R |
Here in this happy dell | P |

Thus Nature spake The work was done | S |
How soon my Lucy's race was run | S |
She died and left to me | D |
This heath this calm and quiet scene | T |
The memory of what has been | U |
And never more will be | D |
