Love the cities tall and bright | B |
For the forest ways are my ways | A |
And the birds' songs my delight | B |
And the stars in river byways | A |
Are my only lamps by night | B |

I shall see the Spring awaking | C |
While you think it winter still | D |
Watch the brittle ice forsaking | C |
Edge of marsh and pool and rill | D |
And the little willows making | C |
Yellow mists against the hill | D |

Go you to the things you care for | E |
Violins with trembling string | C |
Jewels that men do and dare for | E |
Every lovely man wrought thing | C |
They have caught your spirit therefore | E |
You have left me ere the Spring | C |
