| Rejoice while yet you may | B |
| For nearer ever nearer | A |
| Fair Summer draws each day | B |
| And soon the tiny snowdrops | C |
| Shall waken from their sleep | D |
| And mossy banks from under | A |
| The modest violets peep | D |
| - | |
| The apple trees shall scatter | A |
| Their buds at Summer's feet | E |
| And with their fragrant odors | C |
| Make every zephyr sweet | E |
| While Nature of wild roses | C |
| And lilies frail and white | F |
| Shall make a wreath for Summer | A |
| And crown her with delight | F |
| - | |
| Forth from the smiling heavens | C |
| Shall fall the gentle rain | G |
| The earth shall feel her presence | C |

| The birds shall come and twitter | A |
| And build amid the boughs | C |
| So Winter merry Winter | A |
| While yet you may carouse | C |

| We love you merry Winter | A |
| You and the joys you bring | H |
| And loud and long your praises | C |
| Throughout the world we sing | H |
| But Summer gentle Summer | A |
| Comes shyly through the glade | I |
| And draws all hearts to love her | A |
| So fair is she arrayed | I |
| - | |
| We love the merry sleighing | H |
| The swinging snowshoe tramp | J |
| While in the clear cold heavens | C |
| The calm moon holds her lamp | J |
| - | |
| We love the breathless coasting | H |
| The skating and the games | C |
| Played amid shouts of laughter | A |
| Around the hearth fire flames | C |
| - | |
| But Summer winsome Summer | A |
| Holds greater stores of bliss | C |
| When all the land awakens | C |
| And blossoms at her kiss | C |
| We soon shall feel her presence | C |
| And breathe her perfumed breath | K |
| Then Winter dear old Winter | A |
| We will not mourn your death | K |
