| The lily of your bended head | C |
| The bindweed of your hair | D |
| Each looked its loveliest and said | C |
| You were more fair | D |

| I went into the wood anon | A |
| And heard the wild birds sing | E |
| How sweet you were they warbled on | A |

| And heard it murmuring too | I |
| Part of an ancient mystery | H |
