Rhyme Scheme: AABAAB CCDEED FFGAAG HHIJJJ BBKAAK JJLKKL AABMMB NNAAAA OOJKKJ PQAAAA| Departing summer hath assumed | A |
| An aspect tenderly illumed | A |
| The gentlest look of spring | B |
| That calls from yonder leafy shade | A |
| Unfaded yet prepared to fade | A |
| A timely caroling | B |
| - | |
| No faint and hesitating trill | C |
| Such tribute as to winter chill | C |
| The lonely redbreast pays | D |
| Clear loud and lively is the din | E |
| From social warblers gathering in | E |
| Their harvest of sweet lays | D |
| - | |
| Nor doth the example fail to cheer | F |
| Me conscious that my leaf is sere | F |
| And yellow on the bough | G |
| Fall rosy garlands from my head | A |
| Ye myrtle wreaths your fragrance shed | A |
| Around a younger brow | G |
| - | |
| Yet will I temperately rejoice | H |
| Wide is the range and free the choice | H |
| Of undiscordant themes | I |
| Which haply kindred souls may prize | J |
| Not less than vernal ecstasies | J |
| And passion's feverish dreams | J |
| - | |
| For deathless powers to verse belong | B |
| And they like Demi gods are strong | B |
| On whom the Muses smile | K |
| But some their function have disclaimed | A |
| Best pleased with what is aptliest framed | A |
| To enervate and defile | K |
| - | |
| Not such the initiatory strains | J |
| Committed to the silent plains | J |
| In Britain's earliest dawn | L |
| Trembled the groves the stars grew pale | K |
| While all too daringly the veil | K |
| Of nature was withdrawn | L |
| - | |
| Nor such the spirit stirring note | A |
| When the live chords Alcaeus smote | A |
| Inflamed by sense of wrong | B |
| Woe woe to Tyrants from the lyre | M |
| Broke threateningly in sparkles dire | M |
| Of fierce vindictive song | B |
| - | |
| And not unhallowed was the page | N |
| By winged Love inscribed to assuage | N |
| The pangs of vain pursuit | A |
| Love listening while the Lesbian Maid | A |
| With finest touch of passion swayed | A |
| Her own Aeolian lute | A |
| - | |
| O ye who patiently explore | O |
| The wreck of Herculanean lore | O |
| What rapture could ye seize | J |
| Some Theban fragment or unroll | K |
| One precious tender hearted scroll | K |
| Of pure Simonides | J |
| - | |
| That were indeed a genuine birth | P |
| Of poesy a bursting forth | Q |
| Of genius from the dust | A |
| What Horace gloried to behold | A |
| What Maro loved shall we enfold | A |
| Can haughty Time be just | A |
