| But my spirit did not rest | B |
| For the labours of the day | C |
| Yet my weary soul opprest | C |
| And before my dreaming eyes | D |
| Still the learned volumes lay | C |
| And I could not close their leaves | E |
| And I could not turn away | C |
| - | |
| But I oped my eyes at last | C |
| And I heard a muffled sound | C |
| 'Twas the night breeze come to say | C |
| That the snow was on the ground | C |
| - | |
| Then I knew that there was rest | C |
| On the mountain's bosom free | F |
| So I left my fevered couch | A |
| And I flew to waken thee | F |
| - | |
| I have flown to waken thee | F |
| For if thou wilt not arise | D |
| Then my soul can drink no peace | G |
| From these holy moonlight skies | D |
| - | |
| And this waste of virgin snow | H |
| To my sight will not be fair | I |
| Unless thou wilt smiling come | J |
| Love to wander with me there | I |
| - | |
| Then awake Maria wake | K |
| For if thou couldst only know | H |
| How the quiet moonlight sleeps | L |
| On this wilderness of snow | H |
| - | |
| And the groves of ancient trees | M |
| In their snowy garb arrayed | C |
| Till they stretch into the gloom | N |
| Of the distant valley's shade | C |
| - | |
| I know thou wouldst rejoice | O |
| To inhale this bracing air | I |
| Thou wouldst break thy sweetest sleep | P |
| To behold a scene so fair | I |
| - | |
| O'er these wintry wilds alone | Q |
| Thou wouldst joy to wander free | F |
| And it will not please thee less | R |
| Though that bliss be shared with me | F |
