| Here where your garden fenced about and still is | B |
| Here where the unmoved summer air is sweet | C |

| Dreaming I linger in the noontide heat | C |

| Of many summers are the trees recorders | E |
| The turf a carpet many summers wove | F |
| Old fashioned blossoms cluster in the borders | E |
| Love in a mist and crimson hearted clove | F |

| All breathes of peace and sunshine in the present | G |
| All tells of bygone peace and bygone sun | H |
| Of fruitful years accomplished budding crescent | G |
| Of gentle seasons passing one by one | H |
| - | |
| Fain would I bide but ever in the distance | I |
| A ceaseless voice is sounding clear and low | J |
| The city calls me with her old persistence | I |
| The city calls me I arise and go | J |
| - | |
| Of gentler souls this fragrant peace is guerdon | H |
| For me the roar and hurry of the town | H |
| Wherein more lightly seems to press the burden | H |
| Of individual life that weighs me down | H |
| - | |
| I leave your garden to the happier comers | E |
| For whom its silent sweets are anodyne | H |
| Shall I return Who knows in other summers | E |
| The peace my spirit longs for may be mine | H |
