| The apple trees shall scatter | A |
| Their buds at Summer's feet | E |
| And with their fragrant odors | C |

| 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 |

| 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 |
