| 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 |
