Rhyme Scheme: ABBBCCDDDDEEDABBA DFFFGGEEEEHHEABBA ACCCBBIIIIFFIABBA| A little Maid sat in a Jonquil Tree | A |
| Singing alone | B |
| In a low love tone | B |
| And the wind swept by with a wistful moan | B |
| For he longed to stay | C |
| With the Maid all day | C |
| But he knew | D |
| As he blew | D |
| It was true | D |
| That the dew | D |
| Would never never dry | E |
| If the wind should die | E |
| So he hurried away where the rosebuds grew | D |
| And while to the Land of the Rose went he | A |
| Singing alone | B |
| In a low love tone | B |
| A Little Maid sat in a Jonquil Tree | A |
| - | |
| The Little Maid's eyes had a rainbow hue | D |
| And her sunset hair | F |
| Was woven with care | F |
| In a knot that was fit for a Psyche to wear | F |
| And she pressed her lips | G |
| With her finger tips | G |
| Threw a sly | E |
| Kiss to try | E |
| If he'd sigh | E |
| In reply | E |
| And said with a laugh | H |
| Oh it's not one half | H |
| As sweet as I give when there's Some One nigh | E |
| And while to the Rosebud Land went he | A |
| Singing alone | B |
| In a low love tone | B |
| A Little Maid sat in a Jonquil Tree | A |
| - | |
| The wind swept back to the Jonquil Tree | A |
| At the close of day | C |
| In the twilight gray | C |
| But the sweet Little Maid had stolen away | C |
| And whither she's flown | B |
| Will never be known | B |
| Till the Rose | I |
| As it blows | I |
| Shall disclose | I |
| All it knows | I |
| Of the Maid so fair | F |
| With the sunset hair | F |
| And the sad wind comes and sighs and goes | I |
| And dreams of the day when he blew so free | A |
| When singing alone | B |
| In a low love tone | B |
| A Little Maid sat in a Jonquil Tree | A |
