| She wept because her child must go | I |

| Went leaping over rocks and ferns | J |
| Coursing the shadow race from dawn | I |
| Until the twilight flock returns | J |

| And she would spy and she would capture | K |
| The shyest flower that lit the grass | L |
| The joy I had to watch her rapture | K |
| Was keen as even her rapture was | M |

| The forest knew her and was glad | H |
| And laughed and wept for joy and woe | I |
| This was the welcome that she had | H |
| Among the woods of Fontainebleau | I |
