| Sweet song flower of the Mayspring of our song | B |
| Be welcome to us with loving thanks and praise | C |
| To his good hand who travelling on strange ways | C |
| Found thee forlorn and fragrant lain along | B |
| Beneath dead leaves that many a winter's wrong | B |
| Had rained and heaped through nigh three centuries' maze | C |
| Above thy Maybloom hiding from our gaze | C |
| The life that in thy leaves lay sweet and strong | B |
| For thine have life while many above thine head | A |
| Piled by the wind lie blossomless and dead | A |
| So now disburdened of such load above | D |
| That lay as death's own dust upon thee shed | A |
| By days too deaf to hear thee like a dove | D |
| Murmuring we hear thee bird and flower of love | D |
